Finlays’ Rhode Island operations recently achieved ISO 45001 certification for occupational health & safety. Finlays is one of the first food and beverage organisations globally to certify to the new ISO 45001 standard during its introductory period. Achieving this milestone was a culmination of over two years of work across all departments. "Typically, most businesses would strive to certify one site at a time. We decided to work towards the certification of our three Rhode Island facilities all at once," says Shaun Galligan, Head of Environmental, Health, and Safety at Finlays Americas. Within the global food and beverage industry, the certification has long been associated with a commitment to continuous improvement and gives confidence to customers that their supply chain won't be disrupted or delayed because of compliance concerns or work-related injuries.
