Question: Smoke-free cars
I am currently in the process of undertaking the annual review of a client's health and safety policy. My client's company occupies two sites that are smoke-free. However, I need to determine the policy for its company cars, which are leased. As I understand the regulations, they state that if the driver uses the car for company business and is driving alone, he can smoke. I believe the regulations also do not apply if the car is used in the private domain (weekends and holiday) if family and friends are present. However, if an employee takes a non-smoking passenger on a business trip, he must not smoke. Is this correct?

Recent Questions
There is a debate going on where I work as to when an accident should be reported. A colleague blackened his finger nail in an incident at work. The old advice would have been to report is as you never know how the injury, however slight, might become worse with time. My colleague's manager received the accident book report and spoke to him requesting that minor accidents of this type should not be reported in the accident books. Our company owner receives all accident reports and he is outspokenly frustrated at the frequency that 'petty' accidents/incidents are reported. Help ... I am currently writing an accident reporting and investigation procedure, with definitions of when and how to report accidents and incidents, so any advice on the most sensible approach would be appreciated.
