company premises (including canteen facilities and bathrooms, etc.) at all times. Employees are
                   forbidden to smoke outside Company premises and shops as this contravenes our smoke free
                   image.

                   This policy applies to all employees, contractors, customers, and visitors.

                   Overall responsibility for policy implementation rests with a MANAGER or other person, for the
                   time  being,  in  charge  of  the  premise.  All  employees'  have  an  obligation  to  adhere  to  and
                   facilitate the implementation of this policy.
                   The person in charge shall inform all existing employees and contractors of the policy and their
                   role in the implementation and monitoring of the policy. All new and prospective employees and
                   contractors shall be asked to review this policy during their induction.

                   Infringements  by  employees  will  be  dealt  with,  in  the  first  instance,  under  the  Company's
                   disciplinary  procedures.  Employees,  contractors,  customers,  and  visitors  who  contravene  the
                   law prohibiting smoking in the workplace are also liable to prosecution.

                   6.2 USE OF COMPANY EQUIPMENT AND STATIONERY
                   Stationery  and  other  Company  equipment  must  only  be  used  for  the  purposes  of  your
                   employment. Any use of stationery or equipment, which is not authorised or relevant to your job,
                   may result in disciplinary action.

                   Company electronic equipment and devices are  critical assets that are intended for business
                   use. Electronic files and communications created, stored, sent, or received through company
                   systems/equipment  belong  to  the  company.  System  users  are  expected  to  be  responsible,
                   considerate, and ethical in using company systems, to protect valuable company information
                   and  to exercise  prudent  judgement. Misuse  of  company  systems may  result  in  restriction or
                   termination of access privileges and other disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
                   6.3 PERSONAL MOBILE PHONES
                   The  general  use  of  mobile  phones  or  other  hand-held  devices  during  working  hours  is
                   prohibited. The inappropriate use of mobile phones imperils employees’ ability to recognise and
                   react  to  hazards,  such  as  passing  forklifts,  moving  parts,  electrical  hazards,  and  industrial
                   processes, etc.
                   On client sites, it may be necessary for installation crews to carry their mobile phones, so they
                   can be contacted on work-related matters and for the purpose of documenting on-site progress
                   or defects/client queries.

                   6.4 DRIVING FOR WORK POLICY
                   6.4.1    Aim of this policy
                   To  reduce  vehicle  incident  and  at-fault  work  related  road  collision  costs  and  injuries  by
                   promoting a safe driving culture within the organisation.
                   6.4.2    Objectives of the policy
                   1.             To make drivers aware of the main risks they face or create when driving for work
                   2.             To make sure that employees who drive vehicles in the course of their work
                       demonstrate safe, efficient driving skills and other good road safety habits at all times.
                   3.             To maintain all company vehicles in a safe, clean and roadworthy condition to
                       ensure the maximum safety of the drivers, occupants and other road users, and reduce the
                       impacts of company vehicles on the environment  – this also applies to personal vehicles
                       used for work purposes.
