Any enclosed or substantially enclosed workplace where more than one person works public transport, taxis, company vehicles any enclosed or substantially enclosed public places.

What are the Exceptions?

Your own house if not used as a work place designated smoking rooms in care homes, hospices, hotel bedrooms, private vehicles and adult prisons.

What signs if any will be required?

By law all premises must display a no smoking sign with the standard red symbol in a prominent position at each entrance of the building. The sign being a minimum of 148x210mm and the no smoking symbol at least 75mm in diameter. For company vehicles the standard international no smoking symbol should be used.

Do I need to provide a smoking shelter for employees?

The law does not require for you to provide an outside designated smoking area for employees or vistors who smoke. However it is recommended that a covered area is provided giving smokers protection from the weather and keeping areas clean.

Will I require planning permission?

You will not normally be required to apply for full planning consent. A company may be required to submit outline plans to the local authority for reviewing. It is recommended that you seek advice from your local authority with regards to planning permission if you are unsure in anyway.

What does substantially enclosed mean?

At least 50% of the smoking area must be permanently open to the flow of air.

Where do I position shelter?

You should locate the shelter at least 1.5m away from the existing building in order to allow for the flow of fresh air through all sides of the shelter. It is also recommended that you choose a location where there may be less wind effects.

How do I assemble a shelter?

The flat packed shelter should include assembly instructions and will normally require at least 2 people to assemble you also require certain tools in order to complete the installation.

How long will it take to assemble a shelter?

This will depend on the size and type of shelter, but on average it will normally take between 4-6 hours. This does not include time for any ground preparation.

How will I receive my shelter?

If not delivered and assembled by ourself you will receive shelters flat packed on a pallet. Please make sure there is sufficient access and space at your site when a wagon/transport vehicle comes to offload the pallet.

Do I need to provide a cigarette bin?

There is no legal requirement, however having a cigarette bin will greatly control cigarette litter and preserve the image of the company/organisation. If any of your visitors, employees, customers drop cigarette butts in a public place they could have a fine imposed under the Environment Protection Act 1990. The maximum fine for such an offence is £2500

Enhance Your Workplace with Tamstar’s Alcor Smoking Shelter

As smoking bans apply to all enclosed or substantially enclosed workplaces, public transport, taxis, company vehicles, and public places. Ultimately, it is essential for businesses to provide a safe and compliant smoking area for their employees. Tamstar‘s Alcor 10-Person Smoking & Vaping Shelter offers a practical solution that respects both legal requirements and employee comfort.

 

Understanding Smoking Bans and Exceptions

The smoking ban covers almost all indoor public and workspaces. Exceptions include private homes not used as workplaces, designated smoking rooms in care homes, hospices, hotel bedrooms, private vehicles, and adult prisons. Therefore, this ensures compliance is crucial for maintaining a healthy and legally compliant environment.

Legal compliance also requires displaying no smoking signs at every entrance of the building. These signs must be at least 148x210mm with a no smoking symbol of at least 75mm in diameter. So, company vehicles should display the standard international no smoking symbol.

While the law does not mandate providing a smoking shelter, it is highly recommended. A shelter like Tamstar’s Alcor can protect employees from the weather and keep the premises clean. This not only shows consideration for smoking staff but also helps maintain a tidy and professional environment.

 

Planning Permission and Placement

Generally, full planning consent isn’t needed for installing a smoking shelter. However, it’s wise to submit outline plans to your local authority. The Alcor shelter should be positioned at least 1.5 meters away from buildings to ensure proper airflow and reduce wind effects.

The Alcor shelter arrives flat packed with assembly instructions, typically requiring 4-6 hours to set up with two people. Ensuring your site has sufficient access for delivery is important. Including a cigarette bin near the shelter is recommended to manage waste and maintain cleanliness.
