Workplace safety software for food and beverage operations

They scan a QR code and the reporting form opens on their phone – no app to install, no login, no licence. This matters more in food and beverage than in most sectors – in manufacturing, for example, a large share of the people on site are agency staff, night-shift hygiene crews or contractors in for a maintenance window, and they are the ones least likely to have a system account and most likely to be working where hazards exist.

Reports are captured offline in chill stores and plant rooms where signal is poor, then synced when the device reconnects. Agency operatives on their first shift can flag a missing guard as easily as a permanent team leader.

You standardise them centrally and let each site work from the same version. Notify’s Risk Assessment Software gives you flexible templates for the hazards that recur across food and drink sites, with mandatory controls locked so they can’t be edited. Assessments are completed on a phone or tablet at the point of work, with digital signatures captured from employees, agency staff, and contractors as evidence they were briefed.

That covers the injury risks – machinery, slips on wet floors, manual handling of sacks and roll cages, workplace transport in yards and warehouses, hot surfaces, fryers, and lone working and aggression from customers at retail sites – and the exposures that show up years later – flour and ingredient dust, cleaning chemicals and sanitisers under COSHH, noise, and the cold of chilled and frozen production.

Notify’s Safety Intelligence Dashboards bring incident, audit, risk, and action data into one place you can filter by site, shift, line or hazard type.

The board gets metrics such as lost time and accident frequency rate. You get the leading indicators – near miss and hazard reporting rates, audit completion, overdue actions, and repeat findings by site – which are the numbers that tell you where to act.
