Safe Transport Policy

The Imperial Football Club Inc. recognises that drink-driving is illegal and hazardous to both the wider community and potential offenders. The club also recognises that as providers of alcohol under a liquor license we have a duty of care to all patrons and members visiting the club venue.

Accordingly, the following safe transport policy shall apply for all functions undertaken by the club.

 · The club will display standard drink posters / cards to help patrons recognise what standard drinks are and the implications on drink driving.

 · Encourage the use of a bus for players, members, supporters who travel to an event where alcohol consumption could eventuate.

· Taxi vouchers (where available) and non-alcoholic drinks will be considered as part of raffle prizes/player awards

 · Bar staff shall encourage members and visitors to make alternate safe transport arrangements if they are considered to exceed .05 blood alcohol concentration.

· Bar staff will promote low alcohol liquor and other non-alcoholic drinks to consumers.

· Telephone calls will be made free of charge to person’s wanting to arrange a taxi (where available) or other transport.

 · Contact telephone numbers for taxi services (where available) and bus services (where available) will be displayed clearly alongside the club telephone or in a prominent location in the clubs rooms eg- at the bar or at exit doors.

Any person nominated by the club as a designated driver will be provided non alcoholic drinks and/or bar food free of charge by the club (possibility of designated drivers being provided with a stamp or wrist band so they are easily recognised by bar staff).
