Reducing accidents by 77% and saving €1.5M in the process using best practices
CASE STUDY - FOOD PRODUCTION
The Situation
Our customer had a state-of-the-art production facility, a multi-million-pound turnover, and an internationally recognised brand. However, the lack of focus on Health and Safety threatened everything they had worked for.
At the time of engagement, our client was dealing with 260 accidents per year, of which 45 of those were going to claims. Their insurance bill had grown to over €600K per annum in addition to their growing spend in claims (€1.2 million).
The Objectives & Challenges
The main objectives of the programme were to:-
Reduce the accidents
Find the root cause / investigate thoroughly
Develop a system
Raise the H&S culture
In order to achieve these objectives a number of activities had to be performed:-
Carried out numerous audits on staff/security/visitors/contractors
Looked at the overall culture
Carried out high-end H&S meetings with management
Got buy-in slowly
Raised awareness of H&S
Slowly reduced accidents & challenges in every facet of the process
Driven H&S in every section
“We struggled to find the right people to help us with our health & safety challenges. The service provided by Pembroke resolved all our issues and more at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee”
