CFA Members’ commitment to health and safety is again evidenced by the Association’s influential involvement in a revised food industry worker safety strategy.
The Health and Safety Executive’s Food and Drink Manufacturing Forum’s (FDMF), ‘Common Strategy for Improving Health and Safety in the Food and Drink Manufacturing Industry 2021- 26’ is an HSE initiative to engage with trade bodies and unions in the food manufacturing sector to enhance worker safety. This latest version contains revisions suggested by CFA, including specific details that help implementation. It also includes a call for greater leadership involvement in H&S issues and monitoring the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr Ken Johnston, Secretary to the CFA H&S Working Group, explains: “Our Members have a duty of care to over 100,000 colleagues and their health and safety is a high priority. We are pleased not only to be a signatory to the strategy but also to have been involved in its development. It provides an invaluable road map to improve health and safety and we commend it for adoption by member companies.”
