04/07/2004 08:20 #81 BluE-WinG Travis RathLan, GameCon Organiser. posts : 162 lans : 30 Any chance of opening a seperate room for non-smokers? Upstairs per say? We all know that non-smoking seats still receive smoke.... Just a thought.

04/07/2004 09:29 #82 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator as per the terms of the hall rental, we cannot open the rooms upstairs for gaming purposes - plus, more people don't smoke than do. If the smoke bothers you, just ask an admin to put on the extractors for a short while. They are quite powerful and should have a clean air environment for you in a very short time.

04/08/2004 10:58 #87 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator will be available to everybody at the LAN from out ftp server

13/04/2004 12:31 #90 Wookie5 Jay posts : 28 lans : 17 I think you'll find that the new\old legislation does effect the LAN... Its a public event which is covered by previous amendments to the legislation Public Health Act 2002. Also it would be considered a place of work as it is a paid event supported by staff and organisers. As you can see its in black and white. http://www.smokefreeatwork.ie/site/faqs.aspDoes this legislation not exist in the workplace already? The regulations made in 1995 built on previous measures to protect the public from exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, helping to meet increased public demand for a smoke-free environment. Smoking was completely banned in (the public areas of): Public offices: meeting rooms and corridors, etc., in all buildings owned or occupied by the State or State bodies; public areas in banks, building societies, etc.; cinemas, theatres, concert halls; indoor sports centres, the games areas in bowling alleys, bingo halls, bridge centres; State-owned art galleries and museums, public libraries; hairdressing salons and barber shops. Education Areas: Pre-school, crèches, day nurseries, play groups, etc.; schools, universities, colleges Food Areas: Kitchens and food preparation areas in hotels, restaurants, cafes, pubs, delicatessens, etc.; supermarkets, grocery stores and butchers’ premises. Public Transport: Waiting rooms in railway and bus stations; all buses and on the DART and Arrow train services; taxis and hackney cabs. Medical Facilities: Hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities such as residential and day care centres (other than psychiatric hospitals); doctors’ and dentists’ waiting rooms and retail pharmacies.

13/04/2004 18:11 #91 Wolfy Aidan Woof? posts : 25 lans : 3 i reckon so the non smokers should be banned from the lan that way although there might be an infringment of the law no one will care. i think thats a happy compromise

14/04/2004 00:54 #92 BK Owen Mills posts : 15 lans : 13 fairly sure we outnumber the smokers

14/04/2004 07:03 #93 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator The legislation does NOT cover the LAN. I have checked extensively into this. The Darkside is a private event, not a public one. Also, there is nobody working there for remuneration, hence it is not a workplace. If you find that smoking is affecting you at the LAN, let me know and I will see what I can do

14/04/2004 08:47 #94 BluE-WinG Travis RathLan, GameCon Organiser. posts : 162 lans : 30 Smoking is affecting me at the Darkside LAN series.

14/04/2004 09:19 #95 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator why didnt you pick a seat further down into the non smoking area ? (tongue firmly stuck in cheek)

14/04/2004 09:21 #96 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator I might have an idea. What if I split off the non smoking seats and moved them all down to the end of the hall? I don't know if it would work from a cabling pov, but I could give it a go. Any views ?

14/04/2004 10:01 #97 BluE-WinG Travis RathLan, GameCon Organiser. posts : 162 lans : 30 Sounds good..

14/04/2004 10:30 #98 Wookie5 Jay posts : 28 lans : 17 It was just a taught Bio about the smoking ban.....If the extractor system is good enough I cant see it being a prob....Moving all the desks around just seems like to much work. But if your happy to do it, that would be great.

14/04/2004 11:17 #99 Jazz Jazz posts : 38 lans : 18 Well as far as i know if im working for myself in my own house, with nobody else around I cant smoke. Truck drivers cant even smoke in their cabs. Make sure your well covered Bio and put it on your disclaimers.

14/04/2004 13:50 #100 BioHazRd Richard Smith I stole Mindphucks Donkey posts : 209 lans : 18 site administrator As we are not working in the hall, it doesnt constitute a workplace. However, if I was running it as a business, then it would come under the remit of the legislation. Also, I may have forgotten to mention, the Kitchen and Toilets are non-smoking areas too. Its just not right smoking in the kitchen, and the toilets are shared with non smokers. If you see anyone breaking these rules, don't feel bad about reporting them. If I have to abide by the rules, so does everyone else
