I expect that the vast majority of customers will comply with the new health and safety measures when introduced next January.
The owner, occupier or person in charge of a licensed premises is legally responsible for ensuring compliance with health and safety requirements as well as other legislation relating, for example, to fire safety, food hygiene and the control of the sale of alcohol and tobacco products to under-age persons.
As part of the process of monitoring compliance with health and safety requirements authorised officers from the health boards and Office of Tobacco Control will visit licensed premises as part of their enforcement duties.
