3.19.2 Protecting Employees from online abuse
Given the nature of and the high levels of participation in social media sites and on-line forums in
Ireland, O’Shea Group employees may from time to time become the victim of abuse or defamation
by members of the public through comments made and published on the internet or on social
networks.

Where this occurs, Company management will work to support its employees in every way possible.
Where staff are notified of or are concerned about an abusive or defamatory post, profile, comment
or page relating to a Company employee or service, this should be reported immediately to a Manager.
A Manager should arrange for the post to be reviewed, and where possible or appropriate, the post
should be reported as abuse with the relevant site’s existing reporting process. A screenshot should
be recorded of the comment.

3.19.3 Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed and updated annually or more frequently if necessary to ensure that any
changes to the Company structure and business practices are properly reflected in the policy.

3.20 DRIVING LICENCE, INSURANCE & PENALTY POINTS SYSTEM

3.20.1 Driving License
If the Company requires an employee to drive a Company vehicle, under any circumstances, they must
hold an appropriate current valid driving licence. For insurance purposes all employees who drive a
Company vehicle will be requested to furnish a copy of their current driving licence on an annual basis.

The employees referred to above must notify the Company immediately if they should cease to hold
a valid driving licence whether by disqualifications or by revocation on medical grounds. Loss of driving
licence may result in employment being terminated. Any endorsement must be notified to a Manager
immediately.
Employees using their own vehicle for Company business (not including travel to another company
location) must provide the Company with evidence of adequate insurance cover for business use.

Under the system a driver accumulating 12 penalty points within a 3-year period will automatically
lose their driving licence for 6 months. The number of penalty points imposed at any one time will

This policy applies to all Company employees who drive a Company vehicle or for whom driving is an
essential requirement of the job.

3.20.3 Cost
The Company will not under any circumstances cover the cost of road traffic offences committed by
the employee as a result of reckless driving, speeding and generally unsafe driving including fines
received under the Penalty Point System. These costs will be borne by the employee concerned
regardless of whether the vehicle was being used for private or business use at the time the offences
occurred.
