Inappropriate Material

Sending, forwarding, downloading, and/or storing of nonwork-related sexually oriented messages or images are unacceptable uses of the Internet and is cause for disciplinary action, up to and including immediate dismissal.

If employees observe someone viewing or downloading pornography or nonwork-related sexually explicit information on an agency computer, they must report the incident to their supervisor or the HHSC Office of Inspector General (OIG)—Internal Affairs Section.

If you are a supervisor and suspect that these activities are being performed on an agency computer, do not initiate a search of the computer. Report the incident to HHSC OIG—Internal Affairs Section. OIG staff will provide directions to supervisors and/or designated Information Technology (IT) personnel.
