Museum campus goes entirely smoke-free
As of Sunday 1 September, the entire Otago Museum campus will be designated smoke-free. This will include all areas within three metres of the external perimeter of the buildings (which includes the H D Skinner Annex), Museum car parks, and the outside area of the Museum Café.
Gina Cavanagh, Otago Museum Human Resources Manager, explains, “We’re bringing our campus into line with other key businesses and organisations around the country, and supporting the Government’s goal that by 2025 fewer than 5% of New Zealanders will be smokers.”
Signage, supplied
by the Southern District Health Board, will be installed
over the next few days so members of the public are aware of
the affected areas. The SDHB will also provide Ms Cavanagh
with resources for staff who express an interest in quitting
smoking.
