The Act requires non smoking signs to be posted where smoking is prohibited. Where should an operator place the signs?
The Act and Regulations do not specify the number of signs that must be posted. However, the Regulations state that an owner of a public place shall, by means of clearly visible signs, inform members of the public who enter that public place that smoking is prohibited (see section 5 of the SFER, 2005). The signs do no have to be the ones supplied or produced by government but must contain the universal recognized “no smoking” symbol that appears on the government signs. Signs should be placed in conspicuous locations so they can be viewed by patrons of the public place.
