At Kraft Foods, we believe:

• All accidents and injuries are unacceptable and we will do our best to eliminate all such incidents.
• Safety and health improvement is an individual and team responsibility.
• Each of us must be dedicated to conducting all activities with the highest concern for employee safety and health.
• Each of us should participate in a local safety program and actively seek to achieve an accident/injury free work environment.

Accordingly, Kraft Foods is committed to:

• Meeting or exceeding all applicable safety and health regulations.
• Continuously improving the safety of our work environment by investing in our people and our facilities.
• Creating and maintaining a world class safety culture to achieve an accident-free work environment.

How are we doing?

The programs we put in place at our plants meet the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 Series, one of the only internationally recognized safety management systems.   And, we are proud to see improvements in our safety performance every year.
