Are YOU conforming with SMOKE FREE REGULATIONS – an amazing 60% are STILL NOT
A recent survey carried out on behalf of Residentsline revealed that, of Residents’ Management Companies (RMC) in the UK, only 40% are currently displaying No Smoking signs at the entrance to buildings with internal common parts.
Failure to adhere to the Smoke Free Regulations is punishable by a fine of up to £1,000 or a fixed penalty notice of £200 on the landlord, RMC, or their agent, whilst failure to prevent smoking in a smoke free place can result in a fine of up to £2,500 on the RMC, landlord or their agent.
To conform with legislation the sign must display the international No Smoking symbol in colour, which should be a minimum of 70mm (3”) in diameter and the sign say in easy to read print:
No Smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises.
Alternatively, “these premises” can be changed to refer to “this block” or to “communal areas”.
Smoke free signs are available from Residentsline on 0800 281235 and prices are shown on the right.
