Food and beverage EHS teams are managing more complexity than most.

The gaps that creates aren't always visible until an audit surfaces them, a contractor slips through without the right qualifications or a corrective action that should have been closed months ago still hasn't been.

Knowing where your operation stands is the first step to improving it. This checklist is designed to help EHS and WHS professionals in food and beverage assess their current setup honestly, from contractor compliance and incident management through to risk, audits, training and implementation readiness.

Whether you're early in the process of evaluating a platform or simply want a clearer picture of where your gaps are, it gives you a practical framework to work from and a straightforward starting point for the conversation about what needs to change.

The checklist covers:

• Whether your current systems and processes are giving your team the visibility they need

• Contractor compliance

• Incident management

• Risk management

• Audits and inspections

• Training and inductions

• What to look for in an EHS platform

• Making the case for change

• Steps for implementation
