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.
