Food & Quality and Health & Safety
Start BHV+ training
Today, the first group of the BHV+ team for the upcoming year completed their training. With a mix of experienced and new team members, it was a day full of learning, teamwork, and hands-on practice.
To make the training as realistic as possible, a LOTUS victim (a trained actor simulating injuries) was present, giving the team the opportunity to practice first aid in a lifelike scenario.
Well done to everyone who participated!
SAFETY ALERT!
Every day, more than 50 EPT’s and other vehicles are moving through our DC. With so many vehicles and people working in the same space, it only takes a moment of inattention for a serious accident to happen.
Unfortunately, last week one of our colleagues was seriously injured after coming into contact with an EPT. This incident is a strong reminder of how important it is to stay alert at all times, when you are walking or driving in our DC.
Internal traffic safety tips:
Limit your speed while driving.
Use your horn when there is limited visibility (for example around high stacks).
Make eye contact with each other before moving forward.
Stay on the designated paths, and be extra cautious when driving or walking in the buffer area’s.
Please take a moment to discuss this Safety Alert within your team and raise awareness with your colleagues to prevent these kind of accidents in the future!
🚨 Fire alarm and evacuations
On Monday, September 30, the fire alarm was activated twice (01:30 and 20:15), resulting in the evacuation of the DC. In both cases, a manual fire alarm point (handbrandmelder) was triggered, even though there was no fire or leakage.
This is an important reminder for everyone to be extra cautious when working near these alarm points!
And please keep the following in mind:
If you accidentally activate a manual alarm, report it immediately to your team lead. This helps to avoid unnecessary evacuations, as well as downtime in production and the cooling systems.
To prevent misuse, camera footage will be checked after every manual activation of the alarm.
👏 A big thank you to our BHV+ team for guiding the evacuations and ensuring that everyone exited the site safely.
