Signs

The Regulations require anyone who occupies or manages a smoke-free premises to make sure that at least one legible no smoking sign is displayed. There is no specific requirement as to the size, shape, content or location of no-smoking signs.

Where a premises is made up of a number of separate buildings there is no legal requirement to display a sign in each, however this may be necessary depending on the usage of the premises.

At least one legible no-smoking sign must also be displayed in vehicles; again there are no requirements as to the format and size of the signs which should be displayed.

Ensuring signs are displayed is the responsibility of establishment managers, except for centrally managed buildings where signs are the responsibility of the Facilities Team.
