AB Agri is a global agricultural business operating across the food supply chain. As part of Associated British Foods, it works with partners to improve the sustainability and profitability of food production.

We now have a system that can scale with the demands of our business.

Group Safety and Environment Manager

Manual COSHH management couldn’t keep pace with AB Agri’s growth. A backlog of assessments quickly built up, placing heavy demands on the health and safety team. The process produced COSHH risk assessments based on a single risk view, rather than the reality of day-to-day operations.

Scaling COSHH across multiple sites

Managing COSHH across 17 sites in five countries created duplication and inefficiency. Assessments took around 60 minutes each, leaving safety teams struggling to keep up with changing legislation, suppliers, and operational demands.

Sypol and EcoOnline were the best option for our global multi-site operations.

Group Safety and Environment Manager

AB Agri recognised the need for a more efficient approach to COSHH management. In June 2017, they implemented Sypol’s COSHH risk assessment software, giving them a scalable solution to create and manage assessments quickly and consistently across all sites.

Jeff said, “After choosing Sypol, their team helped implement it across our multi-national operation and uploaded hundreds of existing assessments, so we could start using the system immediately. This would have taken us months.”

Efficient, scalable COSHH management

Sypol has transformed how the health and safety team manages hazardous substances, streamlining processes, and improving oversight across the business.

Jeff explained, “We no longer have any issues with training staff, regardless of language barriers.

We now have a system that can scale with the demands of our business. With almost 2,500 products or substances requiring a COSHH assessment, there is a massive demand on us to ensure compliance.

Sypol reduces the amount of time our staff have to spend inputting information into the system. It has significantly improved the way we manage COSHH across the business.”
