If you choose courage, you will absolutely know failure, disappointment, setback, even heartbreak. That’s why we call it courage. That’s why it’s so rare.” LEARN MORE: https://lnkd.in/eMVzSAun

How to Create A Safety Culture that Protects Your Equipment Investments (Member Guest Blogger Workforge) https://lnkd.in/ez5JH2pp Investing in equipment for a food production facility is a significant decision that requires strategic planning. The cost of these machines commonly ranges between $150,000 to $500,000 for any new machinery or equipment used for food processing and packaging.1 While technology and automation have created significant value from these machines, ensuring the safety of the people running and operating the machine is a critical factor in increasing output. Ineffective training, inconsistent standard operating procedures, and low accountability around complex machinery can lead to significant safety incidents, and equipment failures, and cause significant downtime costs. Food Processing Magazine reports that a single hour of machine downtime can cost a facility an astounding $30,000 per hour, not including maintenance expenses.2 To minimize unforeseen expenses and maximize productivity, it’s essential to prioritize safety, invest in training, and optimize procedures around your equipment. Here’s a comprehensive guide to creating a safety-first culture to protect your equipment investments: READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/ez5JH2pp
