Crack-down on smoking ban in business vans

Businesses need to ensure staff comply with smoking ban in company vehicles

Employers urged to act as enforcement tightens

GE Fleet Services is urging businesses to ensure employees understand the implications of the ban. Smoking in company vehicles has been illegal since July 2007.
