WORKPLACE AND FOOD SAFETY
THE SAFETY ROI
The ROI on safety is best calculated by measuring the costs and risks of poor safety. As Rich Scalise, Hearthside’s founder and chairman stated, “We do not believe it is possible to produce high-quality products in a less than safe environment.” Safety is a corner pillar in Hearthside’s operating culture and is evident in every corner of every facility. Hearthside world-class safety delivers a tremendous ROI for our customers.
WORLD-CLASS SAFETY SCORES
Hearthside, based on published statistics, is one of the safest manufacturing networks in the food industry. A network-wide OSHA OIR score of 1.5 makes Hearthside a world-class manufacturing environment. Founded in 2009, Hearthside’s network-wide safety scores have improved each and every year, even as new facilities entered our network.
