No Smoking Signs
No Smoking Signs
Designed to display a warning to all site staff, our No Smoking Signs promote a smoke-free work environment. Each sign highlights the prohibition of smoking across various sites and environments, helping to keep everyone safe.
Cigarettes are a leading cause of fire and can trigger fires when exposed to flammable liquids and materials. Contact with these materials puts everyone at risk of fire hazards and burn injuries. According to statistics, a high number of fire-related injuries stem from smoking materials, including cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. This is largely due to improperly discarded cigarettes which catch alight on combustibles, such as leaves, paper, and chemicals.
Prohibiting smoking throughout buildings and in surrounding areas mitigates fire risks and enhances workplace safety. Displaying adequate "No Smoking" signage ensures that everyone is safe and buildings are compliant with regulations. Business premises and sites often include a designated smoking area which features Smoking Bins to promote cleanliness and safety.
Where Should I Display No Smoking Signs?
You can display these easy-to-install signs inside and outside buildings to encourage smokers to pocket their cigarettes. Displaying these signs highlights prohibited areas and restricts smoking. This encourages smokers to seek out a designated smoking area or cigarette bins which store discarded ash and butts.
Cigarette smoke can seep through open windows and ventilation systems, which makes designated smoking areas important to consider. Second-hand smoke impacts health and safety, cleanliness, and the environment. By controlling the use of smoking, your premises, staff, and surrounding areas will remain safe from impacts.
Installing No Smoking Signs throughout buildings and external areas ensures complete protection against smoking hazards. Even short exposure to smoke increases health risks, including respiratory infections, illnesses and diseases. Prohibiting smoking in unsafe areas ensures protection from health and environmental risks.
Are No Smoking Signs a Legal Requirement?
The Health Act 2006 and the Smoke-free (Premises and Enforcement) Regulations 2006 mandate that enclosed and substantially enclosed workplaces and public places in the UK must be smoke-free. This prevents potential second-hand smoke from being inhaled and also mitigates risks associated with cigarette ends not being correctly stubbed.
Fires can happen quickly, but displaying No Smoking Signs means fire risks are eliminated. At Simply Extinguishers, we stock a comprehensive range of safety signage to keep your premises protected. One small investment helps to create a huge impact for your premises, making No Smoking Signs a worthy on-site addition!
