Reduction in workload for safety managers
Avetta helped Hilton Foods streamline contractor compliance and training across multiple sites, ensuring a safer workforce, reducing administrative burden, and improving operational efficiency through a centralized, digital platform.
Hilton Foods, part of the Hilton Food Group, set a top priority to continually improve health and safety across its global operations. After branching out from Woolworths in 2018, Hilton needed to replicate the same strong contractor risk management systems Woolworths had with Avetta. Without a centralized platform, ensuring workers were properly qualified and trained to reduce injury risk was difficult.
Drawing on his experience from Woolworths, Chris Taylor, Head of Safety and Wellbeing, introduced Avetta’s Prequalification, Workforce Management, and Learning Management products to Hilton Foods. The platform enabled Hilton to manage the safety and compliance of over 2,800 workers from 208 companies across four sites. Contractors were required to prove qualifications and complete mandatory safety training, ensuring consistent standards across the workforce.
With Avetta, Hilton Foods streamlined contractor onboarding, cut admin requirements, and mobilized its workforce through an online qualification system. The centralized solution reduced workload for safety managers by 15% while delivering long-term cost savings. During COVID-19, Avetta’s site access and worker profile features helped Hilton quickly trace workers and maintain site safety. The result was stronger compliance, safer worksites, and greater efficiency for both Hilton and its contractors.
Hilton Foods is a global meat-protein partner operating more than ten countries worldwide, including Australia and New Zealand. In the Asia Pacific region, the company runs four automated production sites supplying case-ready protein to Woolworths and Countdown stores, employing about 1,600 people across 65 production lines. Its Australian division alone supports three highly automated protein facilities with over 1,500 team members, delivering meat products to more than 1,000 stores nationally and investing heavily in quality, innovation, and supply chain excellence.
