Situation: Employee injuries, facility damages had a costly impact
Americold Logistics is a Fortune 500 cold storage provider and global leader in the temperature-controlled supply chain industry. The company operates more than 200 cold storage warehouses that support producers, retailers, food service providers, and consumers around the world. Americold was experiencing an above-average recordable injury rate resulting in direct annual losses of over $1,000,000 per year at several of its distribution centers. In addition to direct losses, safety incidents created costly disruptions and inefficiencies throughout Americold’s operations.
