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.
