Food & Quality and Health & Safety
Visit of the international H&S team
Next week (Monday - Thursday) the international Health & Safety team is coming over to visit our DC!
Let’s give them a warm and safe welcome!
BHV+ training
Yesterday, the second 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!
🚨 Emergency exits Assembly
During the last evacuation, it was noticed that one of the doors (next to the charging area in Assembly) was locked, which could have led to a very unsafe situation.
After further inspection, it was confirmed that this specific door is not an emergency exit. The incorrect emergency exit stickers have now been removed.
Please make sure to inform your colleagues so that everyone is aware of which (emergency) exits are closest to their work area.
Upcoming Health & Safety audit
It's time again for our annual Health & Safety audit! To ensure compliance with HelloFresh's Health & Safety requirements, an auditor will conduct an unannounced visit to our DC sometime between October 20 and December 1. Below is a short reminder of the most important audit rules.
