The smoker's corner at DBS Bank in Singapore has been relocated. It was previously located along the only walkway in and out of the building, exposing employees and visitors to secondhand smoke as they passed by. Having the smoking area at a bottleneck in the single route caused health and safety issues. The relocation avoids these problems and reduces risks to employee health and productivity over long-term exposure to smoke.

How do you expose pregnant women to second hand smoke at your company?
#DBSbank.,
Smokers corner on the only route in and out of the building is a health hazard to all visitors and staff of
This single walkway out of the #DBSbank., building leading to the only food court in the area has a smoking area filled with smokers; at the bottleneck of this
walkway, workers have to walk pass this bottleneck which would result in inhaling second hand smoke six times a day for the next fourty years of their working life.
I wonder how many employees are working in that building and what impact would that have on the employees health which would result in lost productivity and unnecessary
insurance payout and medical costs of employees, result in reduced #bank's profits and bonus to senior management?
Answer: Management would be able to provide statistics on a powerpoint.
What impression does it have on highly valued clients and top level management of the bank?
Answer: Poor impression of the #bank resulting in lost business deals.
What could other companies and banks learn from this?
Answer: No smoking in the area around and inside the building.
