HACCP is a systematic, preventative approach to food safety. Certification to HACCP standards assures the consistent delivery of safe products, suitable for use within the Food Industry.
Hazard analysis is undertaken to assess the risk to product at critical points within the manufacturing process (from raw material receipt to final product). Controls to mitigate these risks are then implemented into our processes to ensure the product is safe, and to a high-quality standard.

ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety

ISO 45001 provides an internationally-recognized framework for managing occupational health and safety risks. It enables organizations to systematically assess hazards and implement risk control measures, leading to reduced workplace injuries, illnesses and incidents.
Adopting the standard shows employees and external stakeholders that the organization is committed to worker health, safety and wellbeing. This boosts reputation, morale and retention.
The standard requires complying with OH&S regulations, ensuring legal conformity. It also promotes proactive risk management, potentially lowering insurance premiums.
By requiring emergency preparedness and response protocols, ISO 45001 strengthens organizational resilience against safety threats and crises.
The framework of plan, do, check act means the OH&S system can continually improve and evolve, enhancing long-term worker health and safety performance.
