Employees who smoke outside the premises should not do so within four metres of entrances to the building. They should also ensure that they dispose of cigarette butts and other littler carefully.
Please note that e-cigarettes are also prohibited in smoke free areas and vapers need to adhere to the same rules and requirements as traditional cigarettes.

Please use the designated smoking areas and ensure you dispose of cigarette butts and other littler carefully – DO NOT THROW ON THE GROUND and ensure you are familiar and are complying with the Brisbane Markets exclusion zones.
Smoking breaks may only be taken during designated break times or as permitted by the supervisor.
