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.
