HOW CAN BUSINESSES COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT SMOKING SHELTER REGULATIONS?

• Smoking is permitted in locations without a roof or if the total surrounding wall surface is less than half the amount covered by the Premises and Enforcement Regulations 2006.

• This guideline should be used with caution because it considers all areas of open space, such as framework, as well as the influence of future changes, such as a plant growing.

The modular design of our range of shelters, particularly the Alcor smoking shelter, eliminates the burden of these issues, ensuring that everything is taken care of before installation. Smoking shelters must also be at least 20 feet away from any building entrances, exits, or ventilation points to be legal. However, there are a few more variables to consider when deciding where your smoking shelter will be located. Smoking Shelters from Tamstar are self-contained and can be placed anywhere that meets the described criteria.

• All smoking shelters must allow sufficient airflow to guard against second-hand smoke through and around them. This can be done in several ways, including incorporating gaps.

• Accessibility is also an important factor to consider. Is the smoking shelter accessible in a secure manner? Is it accessible by crossing a road or parking lot? If so, make sure that proper health and safety safeguards have been implemented.
