Providing a safe workplace demands strong leadership, involves employees, and requires safety processes that are monitored effectively.
Our Approach
In the U.S., we ensure substantial compliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and all other applicable regulatory requirements in the countries where we operate.
Our Safety Performance Metrics Program provides a template for all safety programs — across all Brown-Forman production sites — and assigns safety oversight to a key person at each location. A portion of each production facility manager's performance evaluation and bonus depends on meeting our safety and environmental standards.
Actions
We measure total safety performance at our production facilities by evaluating leadership, processes, employee involvement and results. The individual metrics categories include OSHA standards such as machine guarding, electrical safety, personal protective equipment, and powered industrial trucks, as well as industrial hygiene, contractor and visitor safety and employee training, and health and safety meetings.
The F09 Metrics scores ranged from 86% to 99%, with an average score of 95% for all of our plants.
