The Best Food is Safe Food

6/29/2020

 
Picture

We are in an age where food is king or, queen, we treat ourselves when we are winning, and we treat ourselves when we are losing. Some of the best places to get food when we are winning, or losing, is no surprise, the grocery store or diving right into a restaurant. No matter which source you treat yourself to the cold chain industry plays a large part in getting food to your plate. Processes and procedures lead the food industry in compliance to be sure food safely gets to your plate. Chilling food is not only a science but a masterpiece. This masterpiece can bring a budget to devastation if a freezer or cooler door is not properly performing.

The most common issues freezer doors face are all rectifiable with a partner who understands your industry and the need for things to operate to maintain safe food in a timely manner. The most common issues that arise with freezer or cooler doors can cause many problems in a matter of only a few hours.
Common issues cold chain industries see that can easily be addressed with attention to detail:
  • Maintain seals to hold temperature.
  • Address damage to doors immediately.
  • Seek out places that could cause temperature control issues.
  • Reduce condensation.
  • Keep areas free from spills
  • Reduce exposure to exterior elements, shut the door quickly.

The most extreme consequences of not keeping an eye out or not tending to an issue immediately are sick people, spoiled products, worker safety, and business relationships. Taking time out to deal with issues immediately ensures integrity, brand and consumer safety. Eat well, winning or losing.

11 Areas of Workplace Safety to Focus On

6/22/2020

 
​June is National Safety Month. It is only fitting coming out of a pandemic that creating work environments with an overall safety culture falls into place. Small changes may become forever changes in the operations of the facility you work. Antibacterial wipes, hand sanitizer, soap and more might be simple changes for a small business, where big business see’s changes like hands free door openers, mobile optimizations for many facility operations so your hand held device is the only device you ever touch, limitations in public interactions and more.
 
In 2020, the National Safety Council focuses their efforts on these 11 areas of workplace safety;
1.COVID19 – Coronavirus
2.Safe Actions for Employee Returns (SAFER)
3.Work to Zero
4.Fatigue
5.Drugs at Work
6.Workplace Violence
7.Driving
8.Slips, Trips, and Falls
9.Ergonomics and Overexertion
10.Struck by Objects
11.Alternative Labor Arrangements
 
These 11 areas will look different for each business in 2020 depending on your exposure to the public and operations moving forward. Ultimately, our new norm reminds us working together is the best way to understand how each position within an organization helps to keep everyone safe. 

​​If the slow down of the pandemic did not teach you this already, going home to what we love at the end of the day is what truly matters. What is your workplace doing today to work together and make the day safe for everyone within the organization? From the list of 11 where do you believe your workplace should focus? We encourage you today, if you see a gap that needs improvement to take the initiative to represent making the change. If you are waiting for that one person to do something, make that one person be you.
