NC-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

Location of the sign "You are entering a no smoking area"

We are using option 2 - prohibit on-property smoking within 25 feet of entries....The owner has asked if they can locate these signs on the building door. Is this sufficient to have the sign within the non-smoking area instead of at the perimeter of the non-smoking area? Or is there differnt veribage to use on the sign to allow the sign to be posted at the building door?

The signage needs to communicate that smoking is prohibited within 25ft of the building (entrances, window, outside air intakes), is prohibited on the site, or is limited to designated smoking areas. A sign that states "you are entering a non-smoking area" seems ambiguous and is likely to get flagged during the review process, especially if it's posted at the entrances to the building.
