Cargill holds accident-response training
Article Type: Notes and news From: Industrial and Commercial Training, Volume 42, Issue 2
Cargill Pork has held accident-response training for 77 employees at its pork-processing plant in Ottumwa, Iowa, USA.
The training included classroom instruction in the behaviour and handling of stressed swine, responding to live-haul incidents and dealing with barn fires and weather-related disasters and security. Public relations also formed part of the training.
“We are working with local authorities, live-haul trucking firms and our producers in this important initiative”, said Wendy Baker, manager of animal welfare at the Ottumwa plant. “When we work together, we can ensure that if and when a roll-over accident occurs, we all will do the right thing to respond to the situation”.
Cargill is an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services. It employs 160,000 people in 67 countries.
