  • shares benchmarking and best practice across the industry;
  • organises networking and training events and promotes safety campaigns;
  • supports the 'Recipe for Safety' initiative, getting involved in best practice projects;
  • is an active member of the Food and Drink Manufacture Health and Safety Forum
