Why this guide
Food & beverage industries account
for almost 24% of all manufacturing
injuries according to EU OSHA. While
workplace safety and compliance is a
high priority in the industry, food safety
always comes first.
Industrial safety identification solutions
with low contamination risk offer new
opportunities to reduce workplace
accidents and increase workplace
safety while securing food safety.

3 WHY THIS GUIDE

 Benefits of
identification
Increase workplace
safety
In the food processing industry,
safety hazards are around every
corner. Whether it is slippery floors,
chemical exposure, pinch points,
washdown or industrial machinery
maintenance, safety challenges are
a constant presence.
In fact, statistics from EU OSHA
show that almost 24% of
manufacturing injuries occur in food
& beverage industries.
When you consider the safety
obstacles of a food processing
environment, it’s clear that
workplace visuals are essential.
However, concerns for food
safety within harsh washdown
environments prevent many food
processors from properly identifying
hazards on the processing floor –
but not anymore!

4 BENEFITS OF IDENTIFICATION
Protect food safety
Food safety is often a top priority for
food processors. When this goal is met
with the harsh washdown environment,
you are forced to decide between
maintaining a high level of food
safety and implementing workplace
safety, continuous improvement and
compliance best practices.
With ToughWash signs, labels and
tags, you no longer have to choose.
You can confidently create a visual
workplace for employees, while
maintaining a strong food safety
programme.

5 BENEFITS OF IDENTIFICATION
 Increase efficiency
By offering best practice operating
and maintenance procedures on
the machine they were designed for,
companies can increase productivity
and reduce waste. Directional labels,
shelf identification and other facility
identification help implement a lean
manufacturing environment with benefits
for workforce education.

6 BENEFITS OF IDENTIFICATION
 Increase
compliance
Food safety is the number one
issue facing food processors.
Food recalls cost processors
millions and damage brand
reputation. Because food safety
directly impacts public health,
government agencies develop
stringent regulations. To comply
with these, food processors must
develop protocols and ensure
implementation on the processing
floor. This can be done with
ToughWash labels.

7 BENEFITS OF IDENTIFICATION
