EFSIS is offering a new health and safety service to the UK food industry which will enable companies to demonstrate their commitment to the highest standards. The new service uses registered safety practitioners with wide experience of health and safety in the food sector.

We're using our knowledge and skills in the food sector to provide the fullest service to our clients. Health and safety can be a challenging and complicated area, with over 400 pieces of UK legislation to take into account.

It is vital to get health and safety right, and the EFSIS Health and Safety Standard is built on a policy of 100 per cent compliance. It involves an in-depth two-day inspection, after which the client is told where it needs to improve to conform not only with current legislation, but also to best health and safety practice. Only when all non-conformances are dealt with is a certificate issued.

The Standard demonstrates to customers, as well as insurers and the Health and Safety Executive inspectorate that the company has a high level of commitment to health and safety.
