All Company branded items of clothing must be returned to a MANAGER following termination of

3.6.2 Personal Grooming Policy
In your role with the Company you are highly likely to be in constant contact with customers, members
of the public and suppliers as well as working in close quarters with fellow employees. This policy on
personal grooming has been developed to ensure employees understand the importance of
appropriate grooming and hygiene in the workplace or when otherwise representing HEANEY
BROTHERS. The standards of grooming and hygiene outlined below set forth the minimum
requirements to which all employees are required to adhere.

Hygiene - every employee is expected to practice daily hygiene and good grooming habits as set forth
in further detail below.
Hair - Hair should be clean, combed, and neatly trimmed or arranged. Unkempt hair is not permitted.
Sideburns, moustaches, and beards should be neatly trimmed. Non-traditional hair colours are not
permitted.

Nails - Hands and nails should be kept reasonably clean. The Company appreciate the nature of your
work is not conducive to pristine hand cleanliness but in the interests of your personal hygiene and
safety, gloves are to be worn at all times unless otherwise instructed. Hygiene facilities are provided
and must be utilised and respected.

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.

3.6.3 Fitness for Work
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.
