  1. Why Are Smoking Shelters Necessary For Your Workplace? • On the 1st of July 2007, England followed suit with the rest of the United Kingdom and introduced a total indoor smoking ban in all enclosed workplaces. The law meant that smokers could no longer smoke freely in these establishments and would have to find somewhere else outdoors to do so. • Since then, many workplaces have chosen to implement a smoking shelter which is simply a sheltered outdoor area explicitly designated to use for smoking. We believe installing a smoking shelter on your work premises reaps many benefits, regardless of industry.

  2. As these workplaces have continued to evolve to meet legislation requirements, there are various factors that business owners and managers need to consider. • In this blog, we will discuss why smoking shelters are necessary for your workplace and how they can benefit employees and the business.

  3. SMOKING & VAPING SHELTERS HELP REDUCE LITTER • One great reason to implement a smoking shelter is that it aids in minimising cigarette litter. By providing a designated, compact space for smokers, you can significantly reduce the number of cigarette butts and other litter that would otherwise be left scattered around your premises. Smokers Shelters are often accompanied by cigarette bins, which will help you keep your business clean and tidy and can improve the overall appearance and atmosphere of the workplace.

  4. Smokers who are not provided with a designated smoking area may resort to smoking in unsightly locations, which can detract from the overall appearance of the workplace. A designated smoking area can help ensure that smokers are smoking in a clean and organised place that complements the appearance of the workplace. • Tamstar offers a variety of high-grade stainless-steel ashtrays to accompany our range of smoking shelters, from the wall or frame-mountable ones to floor-standing litter bin options.

  5. BENEFIT EMPLOYEE WELFARE & SAFETY OF YOUR PREMISES • For those in industries that are not necessarily customer-facing, you may be considering installing a smoking shelter for the sole benefit of your employees. These smoking shelters are necessary for your workplace as they offer a safe and comfortable designated space for smokers to smoke or vape. • If there is no designated area, smokers will be forced to smoke in doorways or on the pavement, creating issues for both smokers and non-smokers. • In addition, if employees smoke in public areas, they could be violating smoking regulations and fined.

  6. Furthermore, smoking shelters can help reduce the risk of fire in the workplace. Cigarettes are a common cause of workplace fires, and if smokers are forced to smoke in unsafe areas, the risk of a fire breaking out increases. • Thus, providing smokers with a designated smoking shelter can help reduce this risk by ensuring they smoke in a safe and controlled environment. • A designated smoking shelter can help prevent these issues and ensure compliance with smoking regulations.

  7. ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEE SOCIAL INTERACTION • Smoking shelters can also promote social interaction and bonding among employees. Smoking shelters provide a place where smokers can gather, socialise, and build relationships with one another. • This can help foster a sense of community and enhance team building within the workplace. Employees who feel a sense of camaraderie with their co-workers are more likely to be productive and satisfied with their job, which can benefit the business in the long run.

  8. MAINTAIN A HEALTHIER WORKPLACE • Additionally, smoking shelters can help improve employees’ health and safety. Second-hand smoke can harm non-smokers, and if smokers are forced to smoke in public areas, it can increase the risk of exposure to second-hand smoke. • Providing a designated smoking area can help prevent non-smokers from being exposed to harmful smoke and can help promote a healthy work environment.

  9. AVOIDING BAD WEATHER WITH SMOKING SHELTERS • Finally, for social establishments, such as bars, clubs, and restaurants, the inclusion of a smoking shelter is a must. Your business revolves largely around the enjoyment and well-being of your customer in a social environment, and not having a suitable place to smoke can be particularly detrimental to their experience. • While smoking freely outdoors is an option, a smoking shelter provides warmth and protection from unruly weather conditions. This will greatly enhance your customers’ experience and allow them the flexibility to smoke wherever they want, regardless of the conditions outside.
