OSHAcademy recognizes the pivotal role of the food processing industry, a central hub connecting farms and ranches with wholesalers, retailers, and ultimately consumers. This sector, critical for delivering a diverse array of products from meats and dairy to baked goods and beverages, also presents various challenges for worker safety in food processing plants.

Employees in food processing plants are exposed to a range of potential hazards, including struck-by and caught-in incidents, slips, trips, and falls, noise exposure, and contact with toxic substances. Given the importance of food processing and worker safety, it's crucial to address these risks proactively.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Industry, 4.8 out of 100 full-time workers in the food processing industry were injured in 2021. There is a clear need for employees working in the food processing industry to receive safety training to help ensure they can safely perform their work duties.

To meet this need, OSHAcademy offers training focused on food processing worker safety. These courses and programs aim to enhance food processing worksite safety, equipping workers with the knowledge and skills to navigate the unique hazards of this industry and perform their duties safely.
