Social Sustainability:
Employee Safety

Ralcorp's position as an industry leader is made possible by the collaborative work of employees in each of our 39 locations. Providing the safest workplace environment possible for all employees is one of the most important things we do at Ralcorp. The safety of our employees and of our facilities impacts each employee personally, and impacts our business functions collectively.

Ralcorp has a centralized safety and loss prevention program that reaches all of our locations. Through this program’s extensive training and development components, we are able to focus on preventing injury and illness from occurring in the workplace. We apply best occupational health and safety practices to help guide our progress. Maintaining safe and healthy workplace environments enables Ralcorp to meet or exceed our legal compliance regulations and business objectives, delivering value for our shareholders. 

We strive for zero workplace injuries. In an effort to achieve that target, we set cascading safety goals allowing each division and its manufacturing facilities to set related goals for the year based on their comprehensive local analyses. Our safety performance is documented rigorously including overall results, risks, corrective actions, and status updates. All incidents, no matter how large or small, are investigated thoroughly and resolved.
