Employee training
A supplier must train their employees about not selling smoking products to children.
This employee training must include:
- instructing staff not to sell smoking products to children in any circumstances, and to sight acceptable evidence of age for a person before selling a smoking product to them, unless your staff are satisfied the person is an adult
- warning staff that if they sell smoking products to children in disregard of your instruction, they may face a fine
- obtaining written acknowledgement from each employee that they have received the instructions and warning.
An Employee Training Acknowledgement form can be used to show written evidence of this training, which is required by law. This form can also be ordered via the Tobacco Hotline 1800 005 998.
