Local food industry Health and Safety Groups

Many food manufacturers have jointly set up health and safety groups in their region. These include:

  • Food Industry Safety and Health Network (FISHNET) covering Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex
  • Food Industry Regional Safety Team (FIRST) covering Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire
  • Northwest Food and Drink Group covering west and north Yorkshire
  • Somerset and Dorset Food Industry Group
  • Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire Food Industry Health and Safety Group
  • North West London Food Industry Safety Group

In addition there are many local general industry health and safety groups in existence. Two which have a largely food industry membership are:

  • Humberside Occupational Health and Safety Group (RoSPA) covering Hull and Yorkshire
  • South Humberside Health and Safety Group (RoSPA) covering Grimsby and Lincolnshire

As contact details for these groups change frequently it is unfortunately not possible to provide contact addresses.
