Use of the Internet and Email Systems

This monitoring covers all aspects of electronic traffic including the storage of files from the Internet on the hard drives of the desktop PC. Therefore Associates cannot expect any email messages composed, received or sent on the Company network, regardless of the use of personal email passwords, to be for private viewing only.

Abuse or improper use of the Internet and Email will not be permitted and will result in disciplinary action.

Unacceptable usage includes, but is not restricted to, the transmitting, retrieving, storage or display of the following:-

Material of a discriminatory nature

Obscene or pornographic materials

Derogatory or inflammatory remarks of any nature



Abusive profane or offensive language



Chain letters and petitions

 All types of non-business related media files e.g.: Video, music, voice clips and/or picture files unconnected to our business

 Associates are not permitted to forward their Company email to another system outside of Lockton

If Associates feel there is a business reason why any of the above should not apply in their case they should contact the Head of IT.

Extreme caution should be used when attaching documents and/or any electronic files to email. No files containing confidential information concerning or belonging to the Company may be forwarded to any persons not authorised to receive such information. If any uncertainty exists concerning whether information is confidential or not, it should be treated as confidential and permission should be obtained before its distribution.
