Health and Safety

Striving every day to provide a safe work environment for our employees is an integral component of Salisbury Poultry’s culture, and its day-to-day operations. Salisbury Poultry continuously monitors performance against key indicators to drive continues improvement towards the health and safety of its employees. The focus is around a reduction in incident frequency rate within the work environment.

Salisbury Poultry’s approach is to achieve set key indicators which will drive a culture around safety by:

  • empowering the employees with the introduction of health and safety representatives across the different business operations
  • monthly safety committee meetings with representation from the safety representatives and management
  • conduct regular internal health and safety compliance audits.
  • committed to working towards improving our Health & Safety Management System and are seeking to apply for ISO 45001 in the future.
  • since 2012 we have introduced the services of an Occupational Health service provider to implement an Occupational Health Programme

Salisbury Poultry believes this approach will indicate points of focus in the areas of risk assessment, human behaviour control, visible leadership, continuous improvement and safety, health and environmental standards integration. Our aim is to be one of the recognised leaders in Health & Safety in our sector and create a balanced health and safety culture within our operations.
