The Department of Health has announced that the ban on smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces in England will start on 1 July 2007.
As previously reported by HRZone, the ban includes smoking in company cars when they are used by more than one employee.
With seven months to go, the TUC and the government are urging employers not to wait until the last minute before making provisions.
A new website to help business prepare has been launched by the Department of Health. Smokefree England provides guidance on developing a smoke-free policy, case studies, FAQs on enforcement plus links to the legislation and signage details.
