During this 'training' period they must be supervised by another trained SO or Supervisor (provided by the Contractor), and tested by the Supervisor at the end of that training period. - The Group retains the right to 'test' SO's at any time on their knowledge of the site or any relevant policies, procedures and/or systems used by the Group.
