Discretion grounds will assist the Senior HR decision maker with his or her decision.

summarising the matters that were considered. A summary of this information and the reasons for
the decision should be captured on Section 3 of the CIP application form. This information can be
used in communicating to employees whose application for CIP has been rejected.

HSE HR Circular 014/2018 and in the Frequently Asked Questions Document (Appendix 3 of
