FAQs about IEQp2 :

Our outside smoking area is located less than 25 feet from an emergency exit. Is this okay since that door is rarely (if ever) used?

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

Prohibit Smoking Signage in entrance of Parking and loading docs

Even though there is a post over this ítem I am not really sure about this two áreas and the need of signage. In our builiding there are 4 entrances to the underground car park. In the whole building it is prohibited to smoke If only the tobacco smoke can come from a person walking by in the parking entrance (it is forbidden by the Spanish law inside the buildings), and the Access ramp is longer than 25 meters, do we need to put a Prohibited Smoking signal in the Street? And the other question a bit related it is about Loading docks. In the same building, there is asmall area of loading dock. If there is no permanent occupancy of workers (they load or discharge ocasionally) do we need to put the signal of non smoking in the entrance? Thanks

Hi Mercé, To answer your first question, that will depend on the entrance to the parking garage. If there is a operable window or any other opening in the building that will allow for smoke to enter the building within 25 feet of the parking garage entrances, then yes, you will need signage. Otherwise, you should be okay without posting signage at all of the parking garage entrances. To answer your second question, I think that yes it would be a good idea to post signage at the loading dock entrance. Because it is a pedestrian entrance (even though it isn't regularly used) it should have signage, in case employees or drivers want to smoke in that area. Hope that helps!
