1 2018 & BEYOND Gormley Stone Marble & Granite Ltd OUR VISION FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY

2 The Managing health and safety at Gormley is of paramount importance to us and in order that we protect our employees, clients and all others that may be affected by our work. The Gormley approach is to integrate safety into all aspects of our business including encouraging and teaching our staff / site operatives and subcontractors to adopt behaviours that will create a safe and controlled environment. We aim to create a mandate that enables us all to align and move positively forward so that workplace safety, health and welfare an integral part of our everyday business. But at Gormley we don t feel that it s just enough to simply describe this vision we must realise it, Gormley need to put our words into practice. Thus, by all project members acting together we will be able to create a positive safety culture where we all lead on health and safety to achieve zero harm. Patrick Gormley Director April 2018

3 OUR VISION FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY To create and promote high standards in health & safety throughout our UK operations and global supply chain We aim to create a positive safety culture where the control of health and safety risk is embedded in our everyday work Preventing injuries and ill health to our staff and others affected by our work Directors & Managers acting as role models Actively managing performance on projects & developing and implementing plans for improvement

4 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Whatever we do and wherever we do it, At Gormley we need to do it safely and without causing ill health. Gormley acknowledge In many countries there may not be clearly defined standards that govern occupational safety. We seek to prevent harm by implementing processes with our supply chain / subcontractors and operational staff or any others who may be affected by our activities and set high standards in relation to this. We aim to manage occupational health and safety risks through the use of defined processes which we can monitor via audit / assessment & inspection. This is all about personal safety failures of occupational health and safety usually have an immediate impact, particularly on the individual. Individuals therefore need to consider their behaviour and its consequences. PROCESSING HEALTH AND SAFETY Processing health and safety is about the impact and the integrity of our work as professionals. We aim to prevent any harm occurring, to our staff or others, through our design or process decisions. Failure of process safety may have widespread and significant consequences, and is less likely to have an immediate impact. A design or process failure may result in personal, commercial or legal implications. In order to manage these types of risks, individuals, particularly senior managers, must have a thorough understanding of the process within their line of responsibility and the implications for safety.
