Managing hazardous substances safely and compliantly across 80+ sites<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

With over 8,000 people spread across 80+ sites, M\u00fcller deals with several health and safety challenges, including managing their hazardous substances safely and compliantly. Operating a complex supply chain, managing risk consistently, achieving the high health and safety standards required, and standardising safety processes and performance, is a key priority for the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00fcller sources materials from a wide range of suppliers throughout the world, which adds importance to operating sustainably throughout the supply chain. As a responsible family run business, it applies strict terms and conditions on all of its suppliers to ensure that robust standards are met.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Keeping chemical risk assessments up-to-date<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The key challenge for M\u00fcller was to unite standards and processes together under one strategy. This had historically proved difficult as the many sites had differing systems, risks, and capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff would have to spend a significant amount of time on updating contractor information and keeping chemical assessments up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having rapidly expanded, and significantly investing in its dairy and distribution network since 1994, the health and safety team required a framework to standardise operational excellence activities and ways of working across the business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Meeting the ongoing challenges of COSHH assessments<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n


Sypol has a long and proven track record of helping food manufacturers, working with more than 40 companies to manage the unique COSHH challenges associated with food production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With ongoing changes in legislation, the software also flags when COSHH assessments need to be updated in line with new legislation. This enabled M\u00fcller to better unite standards and meet compliance across sites. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t <\/section>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The business now has a world class Chemical Safety management system in which performance can be monitored against. This has allowed M\u00fcller to identify areas for improvement across its many sites. M\u00fcller has also been able to influence employee attitudes and behaviours about safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To produce the technical COSHH assessments that they required, Sypol has helped to improve their management of hazardous substances with a system that can scale with the demands of the business. M\u00fcller has significantly improved the way it manages COSHH risks and compliance.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
