About no-smoking signage
No-smoking signage in smoke-free premises
The legislation requires those responsible for smoke-free premises to display at least one no-smoking sign in a prominent position at each public entrance.
This sign must:
- be a flat, rectangular sign that is not less than 148 millimetres by 210 millimetres;
- bear the international no-smoking symbol (in full colour) at least 75 millimetres in diameter;
- contain, in characters that can be easily read, the following words: �No smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises�.
On the sign, the words �these premises� may be replaced by words referring to the particular smoke-free premises, for example, �this hotel�.
A no-smoking sign that displays the international no-smoking symbol (in full colour) is the minimum requirement at entrances to smoke-free premises which:
- are located within other smoke-free premises (for example, a shop within an indoor shopping centre); or
- are for staff only (providing that the premises displays at least one rectangular sign).
