This No Smoking Policy complies with the Health Act 2006 which makes an offence to smoke in a public place or workplace.

Employers need to be aware that under the legislation they have a duty to stop people smoking within their premises and if they fail to comply with this duty they are committing an offence and will face heavy fines. Employers therefore need to have a No Smoking Policy in place outlining the restrictions on smoking at work and how breaches will be dealt with.

This No Smoking Policy template is fully comprehensive and can be used by any organisation. It sets out the company’s duty to provide a safe working environment, prohibits smoking in all enclosed and substantially enclosed areas in the workplace, including company vehicles. Employees are only permitted to smoke in designated areas. This Policy applies to all employees, customers, clients, visitors and contractors of the company.

This No Smoking Policy contains the following clauses:

1. Introduction
2. No Smoking Areas
3. Smoking Areas
4. Signage
5. Vehicles
6. Responsibility and Enforcement
7. Implementation and Maintenance
8. Complaints, Monitoring and Review

This No Smoking Policy is in Microsoft Word format, written in plain English, easy to use and edit.
