Smoking PolicyYou are here: Home » Club » Smoking Policy

Purpose

This policy has been developed to protect all employees, supporters, service users, customers and visitors from exposure to second-hand smoke.

Exposure to second-hand smoke, also known as passive smoking, increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. Ventilation or separating smokers and non-smokers within the same airspace does not completely stop potentially dangerous exposure.

Policy

It is the policy of Corby Town Football Club that ALL of our workplaces, internal or external, are smoke-free and all employees have a right to work in a smoke-free environment, this includes all areas of Rockingham Triangle Stadium.

The policy shall come into effect on 11 November 2006.

Smoking is prohibited throughout the entire stadium, internal or external, with no exceptions. This policy applies to all employees, supporters, consultants, contractors, customers or members and visitors.

Implementation

Overall responsibility for policy implementation and review rests with the Safety Officer of Corby Town Football Club. All staff and visitors are obliged to adhere to, and facilitate the implementation of the policy. 

The person named above shall inform all existing employees, consultants and contractors of the policy and their role in the implementation and monitoring of the policy. They will also have to give all new personnel a copy of the policy on recruitment/induction.

Appropriate “No Smoking” signs will be clearly displayed at the entrances to and within the premises.

The policy shall also be made publicly available via the Club's Web Page and be included within the Club's Health and Safety Procedures Manual.
