LFP looks at environmental health and safety according to two main criteria: intrinsic to your business, and intrinsic to your customer.
In respect of requirements intrinsic to your own business, the requirements of environmental health and safety range from compliance with standards of hygiene and health and safety in food processing and manufacture, to the prevention of pollution and waste both on and from your site. Increasingly, the market is also demanding that each business have written procedures for all these requirements, and evidence that your staff are trained in following them. Many contracts of supply, for example to leading supermarkets, insist on compliance with the highest standards of environmental control, including waste management and recycling.
If your business is compliant, you are likely to produce less waste, and suffer from less involuntary spoilage. This will save you money.

In respect of requirements intrinsic to your customer, under the new standards of traceability, it is now possible to pinpoint where in the supply chain a breach of environmental health and safety codes may have occurred. Do not put your business, and yourself at risk.
