The British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF) Health & Safety Expert Group met last week for its final meeting of 2024. In attendance were representatives from BFFF member companies including Asda, Sysco, Bidfood, Morrison’s, Nomad Foods, Holdsworth Foods, StoreLogs, FareShare, Heron Foods and QK Coldstores.
Topics discussed this time were:
- Member updates,
- Review of on -18°C,
- Non-integrated forklift platforms/cages
- Food and drink manufacture forum update,
- Fire water management,
- Counterline ovens,
- Rest breaks for Coldstore Workers,
- Managing contractors,
- Primary Authority Update,
- Dock Levellers,
- H&S Software.
Our guest speakers was Ray Barnett from A-Safe barriers who took the group through the importance of separating pedestrians and workplace transport. In addition, we were supplied the latest version of PAS13 the recognised standard for safety barriers.
We all gained some continuous professional development (CPD) and witnessed at first-hand the technology involved in the manufacturing process in turning polymer beads into lifesaving industrial (memory) barriers. It seems the future has arrived with A.I and numerous robots being utilised here.
We would like to thank A-Safe for being the perfect hosts and allowing us to use their futuristic facilities in Elland, Yorkshire. Thanks to all our members that dedicate their valuable time to be part of this group.
