Guidance reflecting the potential for accidents and ill-health in food and drink industries and to stimulate awareness of priority areas for attention. For management and safety representatives. While food and drink is naturally processed under strict controls, it does not automatically follow that such industries are 'low risk' in terms of the safety and health of employees. Food processing, by nature, can be hazardous.
Consequently, positive action is continually required to improve overall health and safety across the industry. Among the 12 priority issues considered are falls from height, entry into silos, occupational dermatitis, work-related asthma and noise-induced hearing loss. A highly styled guide illustrated throughout by colour photographs, diagrams and easy-glance information tables.
