Employee Health & Safety at Smithfield Foods

Our industry ranks among the most labor intensive. With this in mind, our senior management has consistently communicated on-the-job safety as a top priority. Our goal is to achieve top-tier performance and set the livestock production and meat industry standard for keeping workers safe and healthy on the job.

In 2006 we implemented our Employee Injury Prevention Management System (EIPMS) designed to minimize potential risks to employees and others, improve business performance and assist our organization in establishing a leadership position within the industry. The success of EIPMS is dependent on participation from all employees within our facilities and management alike.
