Can I smoke at work?

_{The Basics}

We want to provide a safe and healthy working environment for everyone. This policy sets clear rules about where smoking and vaping are allowed — to protect all employees, customers and visitors from second-hand smoke and create a respectful workplace. 

_{What You Need to Do}

• Do not smoke or vape in the workplace or company vehicles, unless you're in a designated outdoor area.
• If you work from home, don’t smoke in spaces used for meetings with customers or colleagues.
• Dispose of cigarette butts responsibly and follow signage.
• Speak to your manager if you need help to stop smoking — we’ll support you where we can.
• Be aware that breaking these rules may lead to disciplinary action.
