There is no “gray area” when it comes to
the safety of our employees and the
products we sell. Physical and emotional
safety are an integral part of a healthy work
environment. We also have a responsibility
to millions of families to ensure that our
ingredients are 100% safe, every time. If
you see or know of something unsafe, speak
up immediately.

• The purpose is to eliminate injuries caused from stress on the muscles,

nerves, and joints
• What are cumulative trauma disorders (CTD’s)?
o They are repetitive motion or stress disorders.
o They involve pain and damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves in the
back, neck, shoulder, wrists, hands, and elbows.
• Request an ergonomic evaluation if you are having and issues.

53
Back Safety
Proper lifting techniques:

• Keep your feet at least a foot apart
to provide a stable base.
• Bend at your knees instead of your
waist.
• Have a firm hold on the item
• Tighten your abdominal muscles.
• Lift with your legs, not your back.
• Keep your back straight as you lift.
• Turn by pivoting your feet, not by
twisting your trunk.
• If the item is too heavy or
awkward, get help.
Newof
54
Heat Stress
• Heat stress occurs when the body's cooling mechanisms
are overwhelmed by high temperatures.
Key Factors:
• Sweating
• Blood Vessel Dilation
• Challenges
• Humidity Impact: High humidity slows down the
evaporation of sweat, reducing its cooling effect.
• Exertion and Clothing: Intense physical activity or
wearing heavy clothing/PPE can hinder effective
cooling.
• Preventive Measures: Stay hydrated, take breaks in
shade, and use appropriate personal protective
equipment.
Newof

• Profuse sweating
• Fatigue
• Nausea/vomiting
Warning Signs • Fainting

• Muscle Cramping • Rapid rise in body temperature since there is less
heat being released. The person’s skin will feel
very warm to the touch.
• Altered mental status/Confusion
• Seizures
Newof
57
Combustible Dust Awareness
• An initial (primary) explosion in
processing equipment or in an area
where fugitive dust has accumulated
may shake loose more accumulated
dust, Or damage a containment system
(such as a duct, vessel, or collector).
• The additional dust dispersed into the
air may cause one or more secondary
explosions.
• These can be far more destructive than
a primary explosion
• Clean immediately whenever a dust
layer of 1/32-inch thickness
accumulates
