Case Study: Maple Leaf Foods achieves a 60% reduction in safety incidents with Intertek Alchemy

Building a Consistent Safety Culture Across 32 Locations

Maple Leaf Foods, Canada’s leading consumer packaged meats company, needed to rebuild its food and worker safety culture after a tragic safety incident and years of operating across 32 acquired sub-cultures. The company lacked a consistent way to standardize training, verify employee comprehension, and track whether safety behaviors were improving on the floor.

Intertek Alchemy provided its training, reinforcement, and coaching platform, including interactive classroom tools, quizzes, and the tablet-based Alchemy Coach app for real-time observations. With Intertek Alchemy, Maple Leaf Foods created a common safety culture across all plants, improved communication and engagement, and achieved a 60% reduction in safety incidents.
