SpillFix and LEAN Certification for the Food Industry

Guy slipping and falling

SPILLS CAN THREATEN THE SAFETY & PERFORMANCE OF FOOD MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING WORKPLACES.

Spilling sauces, vegetable oils, additives, sodas and syrups as well as machinery and hydraulic fluid drips and leaks can happen everywhere from the loading dock, throughout the food processing floor into warehousing and transport.

Every year 229,240 slip and fall injuries occur in the U.S. and too often they are associated with spills. Using ineffective spill management methods and products to deal with your spills create unnecessary risks and wasted time, wasted resources, and wasted effort.

On your journey toward better processes and continuous improvements, you may be considering getting LEAN certified. Improved, efficient spill management taps into the root of LEAN principles; reducing waste and driving improvements in employee safety and productivity. A step towards these outcomes is to implement more efficient spill management methods and products.

An innovative, natural solution for spill management that perfectly aligns with Lean principles, is SpillFix universal granular absorbents. The adoption of SpillFix for your spills management provides a healthier, safer, and cleaner environment for your employees, as well as improving your company’s sustainability and environmental stewardship scores.

SPILLFIX LEAN VALUE STREAM

The environmental life-cycle of SpillFix

  • “Bar-B-Que sauce is easy enough to clean up when it’s on your fingers and lips, but it’s an entirely different story when a five-gallon jug of it ruptures and flows onto a warehouse floor. SpillFix was applied to the entire disaster area – from the pallet to the cardboard, the shrink wrap and the growing puddle on the floor. In three and a half minutes, the entire mess was cleaned, and the warehouse was restored to a safe workplace again — using just one product.”

    Warehouse Supervisor, Food Manufacturing

  • "I have yet to encounter a spill or leak this product can’t handle. Without SpillFix, my job would be much more difficult to achieve. I fully give this product a 100% success. I’ve been working here for almost 8 years. Best thing I’ve ever used in my job to date." Read case study.

In the past, we put down our current product and walked away for a few hours or a day. SpillFix should be cleaned up right away." Read case study.
