Ongoing OHS support for manufacturing companies and food processing plants

What can MultiGo handle as a part of ongoing support for food industry companies?

We adapt the scope of support to the company’s size, type of production and level of risk. A small bakery needs different support from a meat processing plant. A large processing facility with shift work and extensive logistics requires another approach.

MultiGo can support a facility in areas such as:

• ongoing OHS services,
• preparation and updating of OHS documentation,
• support in preparing occupational risk assessments,
• OHS instructions and procedures,
• induction and refresher training,
• training for management staff,
• job-specific and dedicated training,
• fire safety training,
• first aid training,
• legal compliance audits,
• management system audits,
• fire safety support,
• review of safeguards and procedures,
• selection, sale and inspection of personal protective equipment,
• occupational health support,
• consultations for management staff and employees who supervise others.

We do not build the service around a fixed template. We first identify the company’s most significant risks and then define the scope of cooperation. This means you do not pay for activities that do not match your production process.

Documentation that keeps up with changes in the facility

Changes happen quickly in food production. A new machine arrives, the workstation layout changes, the company expands its warehouse, hires new employees or introduces another product. OHS documentation must keep pace with these developments.

MultiGo helps prepare and update documents so that they reflect actual work. Documentation should not exist merely for formal reasons. It should support employees, supervisors and employers when they need to make decisions.

As part of the service, we can organise:

• occupational risk assessments,
• OHS instructions for workstations,
• safe working procedures,
• rules for using personal protective equipment,
• post-training documentation,
• recommendations following audits,
• instructions for employees and subcontractors,
• incident response procedures.

Well-prepared documentation shortens the onboarding process for new employees. It also makes everyday work easier for shift supervisors who manage people, quality, deadlines and safety.

Production training based on actual workstations

OHS training in a food processing plant cannot sound the same for every employee. A packaging worker, machine operator, warehouse employee, team leader and production manager face different risks. Each of them also makes different decisions.

We therefore deliver training in a way that helps participants understand their own working environment. We discuss situations that may occur on the production floor, in a warehouse, during cleaning, on a production line or during shift work.

We can organise:

• induction and refresher training,
• online training where the role and scope allow it,
• on-site training for production teams,
• VR-based training,
• fire safety training,
• first aid training,
• specialist and vocational training,
• dedicated training for employees who supervise others.

During VR training, participants can practise their response in a simulated environment. This makes it possible to demonstrate risks without stopping production or exposing employees to danger.

Audits and ongoing inspections of food processing plants

In many companies, occupational health and safety becomes urgent only when an inspection or contractor audit approaches, or after an incident occurs. Ongoing support changes this model. Risks become visible earlier, allowing the company to respond without unnecessary pressure.

MultiGo conducts legal compliance audits and management system audits. We review documentation, procedures, work organisation and areas where actual practice differs from written rules.

In food processing plants, audits often identify issues such as:

• outdated workstation instructions,
• missing refresher training,
• incorrectly selected personal protective equipment,
• unclear rules for seasonal workers,
• inconsistent procedures for subcontractors,
• insufficiently defined responsibilities for shift supervisors,
• risks related to washing and cleaning machinery,
• problems in warehouse and cold storage areas.

After an audit, we do not leave the company with a generic list of comments. We identify what requires action, what should take priority and how to organise the work without disrupting the facility’s operations.

Fire safety, first aid and protective equipment eithin one process

Safety in food production does not end with occupational health and safety. The facility must also know how to respond to fire, evacuation, injuries, breakdowns and other emergencies.

MultiGo can support the company in fire safety, fire safety training, documentation, instructions, inspections and expert assessments. We also help organise first aid training that prepares employees to respond before the emergency services arrive.

Personal protective equipment forms a separate area. We support companies with the selection, sale and inspection of PPE. This matters because unsuitable protection often fails in practice. Employees do not use it, use it incorrectly or do not have access to it when they actually need it.

Ongoing support connects these areas. Training, documentation, protective equipment, procedures and audits begin to work as one system.

Support for managers, HR teams and company owners

In a manufacturing facility, many OHS responsibilities fall to people who already have a full workload. HR monitors medical examinations and training. Shift supervisors manage employees and production results. Owners and management boards want to avoid downtime, inspections and unnecessary costs.

MultiGo reduces this burden. We take over areas that require expertise, punctuality and constant attention. We explain clearly what needs to be done, what can be planned for later and what should not be postponed.

Ongoing cooperation works particularly well when the company:

• grows quickly,
• employs seasonal workers,
• operates in shifts,
• has several departments or locations,
• prepares for an audit,
• implements new production lines,
• works according to contractor requirements,
• wants to organise documentation after years of operation.

The aim is not to create more procedures. The aim is safer work, less confusion and better control over legal and organisational duties.

How do we start ongoing OHS support?

We begin by getting to know the facility. We ask about the production profile, number of employees, workstations, shift patterns, machinery, chemicals, storage, internal transport and existing documentation.

We then identify priorities. Sometimes training must be updated first. In other cases, risk assessments, instructions, fire safety or a compliance audit require more urgent attention. Larger facilities may benefit from a multi-stage action plan.

The process is straightforward:

• we analyse the production profile and current needs,
• we review documentation, training and the main risks,
• we define the scope of ongoing OHS support,
• we agree on an action schedule,
• we conduct training, audits and updates,
• we support the company on an ongoing basis whenever changes occur.

This means occupational health and safety no longer depends on chance. You gain a partner who knows the facility, understands its risks and responds when necessary.
