Flying Boy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Guys, The smoking ban is almost upon us and I was wondering if anyone can answer this question. I have an engineer that smokes. I have installed no smoking signs in the van that this engineer uses and his contract states no smoking in the vehicle. If the engineer smokes in his van and gets caught who pays the fines? A bit confused Flyingboy Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/19809-smoking-ban/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubit Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Are management and salesmen allowed to smoke in a company car ? Nope, no one. Company vehicle is same as office. A place of work. Unless oof course they drive soft tops. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/19809-smoking-ban/#findComment-171004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubit Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 what happens if someone runs their own business but own the van himself ie not owned thru the company and it is not a public vehicle then is he stillallowed to somke in the van or not and does he also have to display signs in the van. The keyword there is business. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/19809-smoking-ban/#findComment-171005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 The keyword there is business. i don't see anyone getting pulled for smoking in a van if they are on their own. this law depends on those who don't smoke reporting those who do, kind of like H&S imo.

Guest Cerberus NI Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Nope, no one. Company vehicle is same as office. A place of work.Unless oof course they drive soft tops. Well,unless there is a difference in the ban that came in here (NI) you are permitted to drive in a works vehicle provided it is for your sole use and is not a shared vehicle (ie - pool car or van,council/local authority vehicle etc).

The private vehicle for the small business owner is like the homeworker - unless you actually employ people to work in your home for business or have members of the public visiting it for same purpose then it is not covered (a lot of this is like the "too bent" banana stories!).
