Kerry Ingredients, a global leader in the food industry, places a high priority on health and safety in the workplace. The company’s commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment is evident in its comprehensive safety measures and protocols.
One of the key aspects of Kerry Ingredients’ health and safety approach is its dedication to food safety and quality. The company has implemented robust food safety management systems designed to handle both intentional and unintentional adulteration. These systems are part of the company’s proactive, risk-based approach to ensuring food safety. This approach involves identifying potential risks, implementing preventative controls, and validating and monitoring their effectiveness.
In addition to its internal safety measures, Kerry Ingredients also has a Global Supply Quality organisation (GSQ). The GSQ focuses on optimising resources and minimising supplier risk in a consistent and sustainable manner across all regions. This ensures that all products sourced from suppliers meet the company’s high standards for safety and quality.
Regulatory compliance is another crucial aspect of Kerry Ingredients’ health and safety approach. All of the company’s global manufacturing sites are required to be certified against a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognised scheme. This certification provides an additional layer of assurance that the company’s products are safe and of high quality.
Despite these comprehensive measures, incidents can still occur. For instance, in 2020, Kerry Ingredients was fined over £180,000 due to health and safety failings that led to a worker suffering partial amputation of his fingers. Such incidents serve as a stark reminder of the importance of continual improvement in health and safety practices.
