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,

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.

Training is generally conducted during paid working hours.

3.7.2 Responsibilities
Employees are responsible for meeting the training objectives by becoming actively involved during
training and providing evaluation immediately afterwards.
Company Directors are responsible for completing training and development needs together with the
employee. They are also responsible for planning and budgeting to meet individual learning needs. A
