Exported to and enjoyed by meat lovers in over 60 countries worldwide, travel with us to rural South Island, NZ, to Silver Fern Farms Finegand. A part of the local Clutha landscape and employer since 1912, the facility has changed hands a few times over the years, but most recently was purchased by Silver Fern Farms. A huge asset in their portfolio, this plant processed its millionth sheep in one season, just nine years after the takeover. Needless to say, this is a busy and hazardous site.
Uniquely offering both beef (approximately 100,000 per year) and sheep (over 1 million per year), this site surges during the peak season with staff, stock, vehicles, and deliveries. When it came time to bring its safety standards up to date and comply with new legislation, they turned to our team for help.
With hundreds of metres of Tru-Gard Safety Barrier, personnel gates for clearly defined access, protective bollards in key areas, and a range of handrails to create better pedestrian zones, this job is no mutton dressed as lamb; this is safety as it should be.
A huge thank you to the team at Silver Fern Farms for trusting us to bring this iconic NZ meat processing facility up to current safety standards.
