Ferrero: Global Health and Safety Overhaul

Ferrero: Global Health and Safety Overhaul

13 Apr 2022

Take a deep dive into our partnership with Ferrero Group, a huge global entity showcasing several high market chocolate brands.

Background

The Ferrero Group is one of the most successful business collectives globally. With brands like Kinder, Nutella, Tic Tac and Ferrero Rocher underneath their belts, they possess an extensive grasp of the chocolate market.

Challenges

The Ferrero Group have looked to ensure a minimum level of competency amongst their safety practitioners across their global operations. We remain prideful of our initial plans to successfully implement an efficient, prospering health and safety system underneath their global umbrella.

We took the time to understand the skills and knowledge requirements for the target audience and recommended the NEBOSH International Certificate. The course is designed to give staff in managerial positions a widespread, comprehensive understanding of vital health and safety principles.

Due to the global structure of their business, we recommended that the e-learning training format be organised for safety personnel across 17 countries. Since then, Ferrero has seen a considerable rise in the health and safety standards in their widespread global presence.

Results

Ferrero commented on the flexible nature of Astutis online courses as exemplary and as a critical driver for initially enquiring to Astutis.

The training has gone down very well with the Ferrero Group workforce, with positive feedback and a pass rate of over 80% on formal NEBOSH Assessments. With successful training changing the health and safety fabric of their global operations, the Ferrero Group have seen a decrease in incidents but an increase in successful investigations of incidents.

We are proud to have turned supervisory staff into proactive health and safety managers who can reduce risk and save lives.

Astutis add NEBOSH IIRSM Risk Management Qualification to Course Library

We are delighted to expand our health, safety and environmental training library with the addition of the NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk.

The course provides an industry-leading understanding of risk management involving processes and frameworks. Unlike other risk-related training courses, the NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk delves deep into the psychological effects of decision making in combating risk.

The course will provide learners with successful blueprints and strategies assisting them in creating risk management frameworks for their business.

Companies that integrate risk management frameworks make considerable strides in becoming proactive health and safety-oriented businesses.

Risk management is transferable to any industry, profession, organisation or country. The course broadens learners thinking beyond their discipline, enabling them to understand the critical relationship between risk management and all business functions.

Brenig Moore, Astutis Technical Director, has said. "It's a pleasure to add this course to our prospering, life-changing collection of health, safety and environmental training courses. The NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Risk Assessment promises to add an extra layer of risk security to workplaces worldwide".

David Towlson, NEBOSH Director of Learning and Assessment, said: “Successful organisations know how to manage risk well. And not just at Board level but through all functions and levels of the business. The NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk gives you the skills and confidence, no matter where you work, to apply business risk management principles within day-to-day operations.”
