Personnel must use company assets as outline in the Acceptable Use Policy. This includes safe handling of trademarks, copyright, and other property (information, reports, etc.).

Safe Workplace

Cast is committed to a violence-free work environment, and we will not tolerate any level of violence or the threat of violence in the workplace. Under no circumstances should anyone bring any type of weapon to work including guns, explosives, or knives. If you become aware of a violation of this policy, you should report it to a member of management immediately. In the case of potential physical violence, contact the authorities immediately.

Workplace Visitors

Workplace safety is very important to Cast. As Cast visitors access workplace premises, Cast should ensure that visitors are not a threat to the workplace and are not exposed to danger.

Conflict of Interest

Conflicts of interest occur when an employee, contractor, or job applicant’s personal interests may not align with company needs or interests. We expect you to avoid any personal, financial, or other interests that might hinder your capability or willingness to perform your job duties. If you believe that a conflict may occur, please contact your manager immediately.

Types of conflicts of interest may include:

Personal investments
Outside employment, advisory roles, board seats, and starting your own business
Business opportunities found through work
Inventions
Accepting gifts, entertainment, and other business courtesies

Personnel should never share any intellectual property or the status of any of their assignments on social media.

When representing the company, personnel should always be respectful and avoid speaking in specifics about their work. Personnel should never post discriminatory, offensive, or other illegal language on social media.

Exceptions

Cast business needs, local situations, laws, and regulations may occasionally call for an exception to this policy or any other Cast policy. If an exception is needed, Cast management will determine an acceptable alternative approach.

Enforcement

Any violation of this policy or any other Cast policy or procedure may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Cast reserves the right to notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of any unlawful activity and to cooperate in any investigation of such activity. Cast does not consider conduct in violation of this policy to be within an employee’s or contractor’s course and scope of work.

Any employee or contractor who is requested to undertake an activity that he or she believes is in violation of this policy must provide a written or verbal complaint to his or her manager or any other manager of Cast as soon as possible.

The disciplinary process should also be used as a deterrent to prevent employees and contractors from violating organizational security policies and procedures, and any other security breaches.

Responsibility, Review, and Audit

Cast reviews and updates its security policies and plans to maintain organizational security objectives and meet regulatory requirements at least annually. The results are shared with appropriate parties internally and findings are tracked to resolution. Any changes are communicated across the organization.
