Getting Mars Chocolate into Pristine Condition

Mars Chocolate has achieved a zero per cent manual handling accident rate thanks to Pristine Condition.

The global confectionary giant dramatically slashed employee accident rates in just over three years at its UK manufacturing base in Slough, UK, using scientific principles perfected for more than a century by world-leading Olympic weightlifters.
 

Louisa Mead, HSE advisor at Mars Chocolate comments:
 
“Manual handling injuries were a serious concern – not just in terms of downtime but to the wellbeing of our employees and their families.  In less than four years we have seen behavioural changes inspired by Pristine Condition result in a reduction of manual handling injury rates by 50 per cent after the first year, 70 per cent in year two and zero per cent in 2016”.
 
Mars appointed Pristine Condition in 2013 to create a bespoke training program to address manual handling incidents at its UK manufacturing headquarters.  As a result, Mars realised a 100 per cent injury-free period in 2016 among its workforce.

Davy Snowdon, The company founder and CEO added:

"What we do is transfer Olympic principles to commercial industry.  The results we have achieved is unprecedented and, in the case of MARS Chocolate, completely eradicating manual handling accidents and injuries.  Among other benefits, this approach has had significant positive implications to their employees well-being as well as reduced strain on doctors and health services.  While we guarantee a 50 per cent reduction in workplace injuries, a majority of the organsiations we work with achieve far greater reduction rates using proven Olympic techniques.”
