a consistent message to
ensure that as people move
between companies they
are still talking the same
language on safe movement.
“And once people adopt these
standards, they can be assured
of having them reinforced,
regardless of where they work.”
FGC chief executive Katherine
Rich says the programme
could be a game changer
for workplace safety,
and she is confident the
industry will embrace it.
“The concept of having easily
accessible, standardised, and
transferrable training that is
recognised when you move to
another company is brilliant.
“I also applaud the idea of rolling
it out past grocery and into
other industries. Clearly that’s a
longer-term goal, but it’s great
to see grocery leading the way.
“New Zealand could be the
first country to have a single
standard for a range of
health and safety principles,
and that’s very exciting.”
The chair of FGC’s Health &
Safety Working Group, Delmaine
Fine Foods ceo Gerry Lynch,
says FGC has always had a
sharp focus on reducing harm
in the workplace, and the online
concept was the result of hard
work by a lot of people.
“We have realised that one of
the barriers to improved skills
in this space is accessibility to
training and the confusion that
exists as a result of different
organisations having different
standards. By getting this
programme adopted, firstly
across the grocery industry and
then others, we will go a long
way to making workplaces safer.
“We will be developing a series
of further initiatives that will
similarly be seeking to remove
confusion in a diverse range
of areas, such as mobile
handling and transport.”
