Me and My Job
Myths vs. facts
People think the industry is unsafe and that the plant is dirty because of the smell in the area. These are myths. The job is physically demanding but we have a very good Health and Safety program and the job is as safe as possible.
The plant and cut floor are clean. Every night, we do bacterial tests on the equipment and swabbing tests. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency regularly audits us so we need to keep the plant pristine to keep our certification.
