The Grange Hotel is a high end provider of conference, leisure and hotel guest facilities and
will ensure that each part of the company assesses the OHS impact of its current and
planned activities and implements an appropriate management system with the intention of
reducing these impacts to prevent ill-health and injury in relation to all staff, contractors and
visitors. Each part of the company is expected to accept responsibility for its performance
and ensure the overall commitments of this policy are followed. In order to do this we shall:

 Commit to comply with all relevant OHS laws, OHS contract requirements and our own
OHS policies and, where possible, go beyond minimum standards;
 Commit to continually improve our OHS management system in line with the
requirements of ISO 45001;
 Seek ways to reduce incidents and near misses with the express intention of preventing
ill-health and injury;
 Seek to anticipate and minimise potential risks to personnel in the event of any
emergency situations, which may develop;
 Assign management responsibility for the occupational health and safety in all areas of
the company and ensure that all OHS employees are aware of their individual
responsibilities for acting in accordance with this policy;
 Develop the awareness of this policy within our direct suppliers and customers;
 Check and review continually to ensure that all our efforts, and those of our commercial
partners, are effective.
 Produce a biennial report which describes how we are managing our OHS impacts and
make this available electronically or in paper.

We believe that through this policy we can become a more responsible member of the local
and global community.
