Sensational new record in safety

The Berry Superfos site in Blackburn sets yet another record in safety performance: 8 years without any recordable accidents. This is a key milestone for everyone, including our valued customers.

Reaching 8 years – 2.920 days – without any recordable accidents is a formidable accomplishment; one that the Berry Superfos facility in Blackburn, UK, has just achieved. This makes it an exceptionally safe site to visit and work in.

Why should our customers care about this feat?
“Naturally, for our internal team the new record is cause for celebration. However, for our customers, it is also a noteworthy achievement since they themselves work with Health & Safety and require accountability and due care from their suppliers as well. Further, high H&S standards usually also mean high quality products, which is the case in Blackburn. Therefore, high safety standards are key for all, including our customers,” says Paul Kitching, Factory Manager at the Berry Superfos facility in Blackburn.

The safety work continues
The safe working environment at our Blackburn site is accomplished thanks to a daily focus on safety:

“Our success comes down to the daily efforts and behaviour of every single employee. The positive attitude that our employees always show is a credit to their commitment to do the right thing every day for the past 8 years. But it does not stop here. Hitting 8 years only encourages us to go further and keep on improving our working routines to protect our employees, contractors, and visitors, making Berry Superfos Blackburn a safe site to visit and work in,” says Paul Kitching.
