SAFEGUARDS

A) RIGHTS OF SEARCH

1. We have the contractual right to carry out searches of employees and their property (including
vehicles) whilst they are on our premises or business. You may be asked to remove the
contents of your pockets, bags, vehicles, lockers, etc. These searches are random and do not
imply suspicion in relation to any individual concerned.

2. If this should happen, if practicable you will be accompanied by a third party who is on the
premises at the time a search is taking place, or at the time that any further questioning takes
place.

3. Whilst you have the right to refuse to be searched, your lack of co-operation may be taken into
account when considering any disciplinary action.

4. We reserve the right to call in the Gardaí at any stage.

a. is or has been acquired by you during, or in the course, of your employment, or has
otherwise been acquired by you in confidence,

shall be confidential, and (in the course, of our business or as required by law) you shall not at
any time, whether before or after the termination of your employment, disclose such information
to any person without our written consent.

2. You are to exercise reasonable care to keep safe all documentary or other material containing
confidential information, and shall at the time of termination of your employment with us, or at
any other time upon demand, return to us any such material in your possession.

induction and will require you to undergo further training as necessary.
