Employee Safety

At Foremost Farms, we are committed to the safety and well-being of our employees. We believe excellent safety performance not only prevents injuries, but reflects the total human condition at our cooperative – and has a big impact on the bottom line.

Safety by the numbers

During the past three years, Foremost Farms has conducted an aggressive program to emphasize the importance of health and safety at all our facilities. In the process, a five-year trend of safety incident rates averaging 15.0 has been reduced to a rate less than 5.0. Our goal in 2009: 4.0.

Celebrating success

When one of our facilities reaches a safety milestone – such as the Appleton plant’s 90 employees going four years without a lost-time incident – we honor that achievement with employee celebrations, luncheons and gifts.
