Neil,

You'll be pleased to hear it is each building to which the legislation requires.

As a point of interest, during most construction projects, there will be a point at which the structure under construction will fall under the definition of enclosed or substantially enclosed. To comply with the law, you will need to post the mandatory signs at entrances to that building also.

The more this legislation is considered the more bonkers it becomes!

Look, I know it's daft and may not be politically correct or even enforceable. I would put up one ENORMOUS sign at the site entrance. No Smoking.

And then kill anyone who smokes.

COMAH sites do it all the time and have no problems. (maybe not the "kill" bit)

If I go to a comah site I (as a pipe smoker) wear a patch.

Make it a site rule. Not building by building.

You DO NOT smoke here. Or you are DEAD.

No-smoking signs in premises
2. —(1) Except where paragraphs (3) and (4) apply, at each entrance to smoke-free premises there shall be displayed in a prominent position at least one no-smoking sign which—



(a) is at least A5 size;

(b) displays the no-smoking symbol; and

(c) contains, in characters that can be easily read by persons using the entrance, the words—



" No smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises".

(2) For the words required by sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph (1) there may be substituted words which differ only in that for "these premises" there are substituted words which refer to the particular smoke-free premises in which a sign is displayed (such as "this hotel").

(3) This paragraph applies to an entrance which is—



(a) an entrance to smoke-free premises from other smoke-free premises; or

(b) an entrance solely for persons to their place of work where that place is in premises which have another entrance at which there is displayed in a prominent position a sign which complies with paragraphs (1) and (2).


(4) Where paragraph (3) applies, a no-smoking sign which displays only the no-smoking symbol may be displayed in a prominent position at the entrance instead of a no-smoking sign which complies with paragraphs (1) and (2).

And here is the url for a downloadable sign that you can print yourself (.pdf)

If you wnat to fully comply in every detail with the signage requirements then page 5 of this document is clear about it in my view. It calls for a sign of the "small" type for your needs.
It gives an example as:-
--located within larger smokefree premises (for example, a shop within an indoor shopping centre).

I am not especially competent in this new law so this comment is based on a pragmatic look at the guidance. I doubt that the authorities will be throwing fines at companies where there is already a full no smoking policy operating. It is not high on my list of priorities. Experience will provide the answer I am sure.
