Smoking at Work Policy

Since 1 July 2007, it has been unlawful to smoke in public or business premises across the UK including offices, factories, warehouses and vehicles.

Employers can be fined up to £2,500 for failing to prevent smoking in the workplace and in order to rely on the available defences of such a charge a smoking at work policy is an essential requirement.

Our smoking at work policy sets out clear rules based on the statutory regime and provides remedies to the employer in the event of breach of those rules by an employee.
