BoxWay Packaging Group has secured the Certificate of Five Star Accreditation following an annual audit at its Exeter, Devon, site for its adherence to agreed best practice in the area of Health & Safety. The business received this recognition at the Sheet Plant Association’s 109th Conference, which took place recently at Tewkesbury Park Hotel, Tewkesbury, Gloucester.
BoxWay Packaging Group was audited by Hereford-based SpringBoard Safety Services, an independent consultancy to the manufacturing, service and healthcare sectors.
David Perry, Quality Health, Safety and Environmental Manager, BoxWay Packaging Exeter, comments, “I am delighted we have secured this Five Star Health and Safety Accreditation, which is fantastic testimony to the team’s dedication and consistent hard work to meet stringent audit guidelines set in all areas of Health and Safety in the workplace and the continuous improvement that was required to meet the rigorous environmental, health and safety prerequisites to comply with BSI standard 45001. We take Health and Safety extremely seriously in our factories given the potential dangers that may arise from working with sophisticated state-of-the-art, high-tech machinery and equipment and on the factory floor to ensure all staff comply with strict standards necessary to guarantee a safe working environment.”

BoxWay has been members of the Sheet Plant Association since June 2021 and has greatly benefited from its membership.”
