No Smoking!!!!!




As you are all probably aware as from 1st July the Health Act 2006 makes virtually all indoor public places and workplaces, including work vehicles smoke free.
Smoking will be prohibited in all enclosed public places and workplaces by making it an offence to:
Smoke in smoke free premises
Permit others to smoke in smoke free premises
Fail to display warning signs in smoke free premises.
This act applies to all private hire/hackney drivers as all vehicles used for public transportation are included in the new law and states ‘Where a vehicle is used as a work place by more than one person, regardless of whether they are in the vehicle at the same time, it will be required to be smoke free at all times. This protects all persons using the transportation from the hazards of second hand smoke’
The Penalties.
Smoking in a smoke free place will lead to a fine of £200 plus a fixed penalty fee of £50.

Failure to prevent smoking in a smoke free place a fine of £2500 !

Signage offences up to £1000.

In other words, no smoking in your cars whether you are working or not. You must not allow anyone to smoke in your car under any circumstance as you could be fined up to £2500.
You must display no smoking stickers otherwise once again you can be fined.
If you want any more information on how the act affects you then have a look at the following web site which has full details.

I have sent off for some signs and stickers but cannot be sure when and what will arrive so would advise any of you that do not have ‘no-smoking’ stickers displayed, to obtain some as soon as possible.




              
Local Area Drivers.

We are looking to offer any drivers interested the opportunity to work in one of two local areas, these being Ramsgate or Westgate.  The drivers that would wish to work in this way will only be able to work specific areas and not the whole Thanet circuit, with the incentive of being able to work an open shift in that area for a reduced circuit fee of £50 !  For full details please see Gemma.

Newsletter.

I would be interested to hear from any of the drivers that have input of any kind to input into the next and or future newsletters.  These can be emailed to me from the contact page and could be news stories, quizzes and anything relative to the taxi trade. Thanks.
