The 7 gaps we find most often

We spend our weeks inside food and drink plants. These are the gaps that keep showing up when machinery, paperwork and training drift out of step with the standards in force today.

01

Machinery stuck in the past

Guarding and inspections that no longer meet current PUWER and LOLER requirements.

02

E-stops that fail quietly

Present on every line, but not reachable or not fail-safe the way EN ISO 13850 expects.

03

Competency on trust alone

Long-serving operators with no formal, refreshed assessment on file.

04

Risk assessments frozen in time

Lines change and equipment moves. The assessments do not.

05

Documentation that fails BRC audits

The knowledge exists in people’s heads, not in the records an auditor asks to see.

06

Training records that do not match reality

Generic certificates instead of equipment-specific, signed-off training.

07

Equipment bought without an engineering review

Supplier catalogue specs that ignore your process, your other lines and your compliance obligations. The health check flags where this is costing you before the next purchase does.
