SECTION 6: FACILITIES

6.1 ENCLOSED WORKPLACE SMOKE-FREE POLICY
Second-hand smoke, also known as Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) or passive smoke is a cause
of disease, including lung cancer and heart disease, in third parties. Neither the simple separation of
smokers and non-smokers within the same air space, nor the provision of ventilation, can eliminate
exposure to second-hand smoke and the consequent health effects of such exposure. This policy
applies to electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes or vaping) also.

The Company accepts that employees may wish to smoke on their normal breaks granted in
accordance with the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. However, the Company in no way
encourages you to smoke and no additional rest periods will be authorised for smokers.

This policy has been developed to protect all employees, service users, customers and visitors from
exposure to second-hand smoke, to ensure compliance with legal obligations and to ensure a safe
working environment.
