Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational health and safety activities at Kellogg are guided by the Corporate Safety Group, which educates, guides and assists safety managers across the company and in manufacturing locations with processes, policies, standards and best practices.

Employees receive comprehensive safety training relating to Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Kellogg requirements. A Global Safety Group, which includes senior executives, meets regularly to share current strategies and accomplishments from Kellogg areas and facilities.

We require our suppliers to have systems in place to assess and control health and safety risks for their employees. Safety performance improvement goals are included in each sector of our business and are key indicators of performance.

In 2007, Kellogg’s Total Recordable Injury Rate was 47 percent lower than the food industry average. Four of our facilities in 2007 did not experience a recordable injury, and 10 did not record any lost-work-day cases.
