No Smoking - What do I need to do?
Here at Seton Australia we understand that sometimes workplace OH&S issues can be complicated to follow and comprehend.

Use the links on the left to navigate through various parts of this web site. We have made every attempt to make these pages as accurate as possible but as always, if a topic relates to your business or workplace, you should make sure you do your own research on how applicable and relevant the information or advice is to your particular situation.
No Smoking in Australia. Have you thought about everything you need to do?
Communicating the law to your workforce, customers and visitors
Your challenge from day 1 will be to implement the smoking ban. You are required to display signs to promote and enforce the law. You are also required to educate your staff on your smoking policy. Cigarette Butt bins/ ashtrays need to be removed from all non-smoking areas. The onus falls on the occupier of the premises to enforce the new legislation, and patrons who infringe must be dealt with promptly. There are different requirements for each state, so you will need to grasp an understanding of your local legislation to ensure that your organisation is compliant with the law. Click on the "Current OZ - No Smoking Legislation" link to view a summary of the local laws. The link includes information relating to licensed and non-licensed workplaces and as well as bans in various public places.
