Ferrero: Global Health and Safety Overhaul

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 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.
