Oral hygiene – appropriate standards of oral hygiene should be observed, before commencement of
               work and after breaks/meals. Further information on the health benefits of good oral hygiene can be
               found at https://www.dentist.ie/.

               Jewellery - Employees may wear tasteful jewellery in moderation. Where job duties present any type
               of safety risk, jewellery may be prohibited or severely limited. In other areas, moderate (including size
               and amount) jewellery may be worn. No other visible body jewellery/body piercings may be worn
               while an employee is in the workplace.

               Tattoos - No visible tattoos or other body art (such as surgically implanted ball bearings, spikes, and
               the like) are permitted in the workplace. Exceptions may be made for employees who have small, non-
               offensive  tattoos  that  cannot  easily  be  covered  by  standard  clothing  (i.e.,  wrist,  neck,  etc.).  All
               exceptions require the approval of a Manager

               Violations - Violations of this policy may lead to disciplinary procedure, up to and including dismissal.

               Exceptions - Employees seeking an exception from any of the above standards should speak with a
               Manager in advance.

               Should you arrive in work and, in our opinion, you are not fit for work, we reserve the right to exercise
               our duty of care if we believe that you may not be able to undertake your duties in a safe manner or
               may pose a safety risk to others, and send you away for the remainder of the day without pay and,
               dependent on the circumstances, you may be liable to disciplinary action.

               3.7 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY
               The Company recognises that continuous training for employees at all levels is essential to ensure its
               efficiency and profitability, and the personal development of every employee.

               3.7.1 Objectives
               The main objectives of our training policy are as follows:
                          •  To  provide  an  effective  induction  programme  for  each  employee  ensuring  an
                              understanding of the Company, his or her role and individual duties with regard to
                              hygiene, food safety and safety, health and welfare.
                          •  To provide introductory and on-the-job training to enable new employees to reach
                              the required performance standards in the established time.

               If deemed appropriate, training will only be approved on the basis of:
                   A.  Nature and purpose of business
                   B.  Expected benefits for employee and the Company
                   C.  Estimated cost and available funding
                   D.  Potential time or performance impacts while employees participate in training

               Prior to receiving training, objectives should be identified, which clearly state what the participants
               are  expected  to  know  and/or  to  do  afterwards.  These  objectives  will  be  agreed  upon  through
               interactions between the employee and a Manager.

               Training  records,  identifying  the  following  information,  participants,  subjects,  objectives,  training
               provider,  date,  costs  and  acknowledgement  receipt  of  training  will  be  retained  on  employees'
               personnel files. Employees should also keep a summary of their training records for tracking, reporting
               and planning purposes.
