Bakery supports HSE campaign

Bakery supports HSE campaign A bakery has lent its support to a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) campaign designed to reduce the number of slips, trips and falls in the workplace.

Warburton's in Newburn has decided to upgrade its store with new non-slip flooring and a new high-level walkway.

Further to this, the firm revealed that it has also invested in a range of mobile step platforms to make it easier for staff to work safely at height.

The bakery has decided to implement these changes after HSE research found that at least 4,000 working days were lost in the north-east last year.

David Cole, HSE principal inspector for the north east, explained that while trips and falls may seem rather innocuous, they "shatter the lives of thousands of British workers every year".

He said: "It's great that Warburton's is backing the campaign and is helping its employees understand and control the potential for slips, trips and falls to happen."

Meanwhile, the HSE urges people employed within the catering industry to use safety gloves to lower the risk of food poisoning.ADNFCR-1200-ID-19664792-ADNFCR
