Under the Act, owners and occupiers of land, buildings and places must exercise due care to prevent prohibited products, such as vapes, from being stored in their premises.
This may involve conducting tenant verification, explicit tenancy agreement clauses on prohibited activities, and ad-hoc inspections, said HSA.
Those who permit the storage of prohibited products or their components without exercising due care face a fine of up to S$100,000 or up to three years’ jail or both for their first offence.
