Modification History
9.7.1 Policy on smoking
Given the proven health risks of smoking, QUT is moving towards making the University a smoke-free environment.
Smoking is prohibited :
- in all buildings or parts of buildings under QUT's control
- in any outdoor area of a food outlet, or any outdoor area where food and drink is provided
- in QUT vehicles
- within 10 metres of any entrance to buildings, air conditioning intakes, ventilation louvres or opened windows
- on all semi-enclosed thoroughfares such as verandahs or colonnades and on all elevated walkways with or without fixed roof structures which require people using building entrances or moving between buildings to pass through tobacco smoke emissions
- in any other area where there is signage expressly prohibiting smoking.
Smokers are required to follow directions given by authorised QUT staff and Security personnel in regard to the implementation and enforcement of the University's policy on smoking.
