Before any Thames Water employee undertakes any task in the refining water production, a risk assessment must be taken out to reduce the risk of any insurers. Specific employees are trained to carry out these assessments in each sector such as cleaning, personal hygiene etc. This will require at least three people if not more. The employees are required to understand the risks of chemicals in the water and to follow the guidelines from COSHH (Control Of Substance Hazards to Health regulations) such as what condition the water will be at and at what stage.
The employees are supplied with white jackets, white gloves and white hats so the hair doesn’t fall into the chocolate. The reason why the colour white is chosen is because you can tell if it is dirty as it is unhygienic to wear dirty clothing when purifying water. Thames Water complies with the ‘Health and Safety Act 1974’ and there is a health and safety manager in every section. The employees are all given training on the controls in purifying, cleaning and hygiene.
There are several fire exits in all the plants which are kept clear at all times and they have a false fire alarm alert every six months so the employees know what to do when a real fire happens. Before the ‘Health and Safety Act 1974’ the health and safety rules were different and not as strict as now, but Thames water still store the water correctly and it has to be the purest and cleanest storing department and controlled 24 hours a day. In the earlier days, there was no health and safety manager, so everyone was responsible for each other and not one specific person.
The machines before were not tested regularly, in fact, they were only tested once every year. Not many people where up to standards with “Health and Safety”, whereas now everyone knows just in case a member of staff may be ill and someone has to take over. Also there was no white uniform and women were allowed to keep long hair and long nails but now the modifications have changed and the white uniform is a must for hygienic purposes and for the safety of the consumers. There weren’t many setbacks for Thames Water because they always have to be alert when supplying to water.
Any sort of contamination would cost them severely and will affect millions of homes. Cadbury in the Market Today: Cadbury’s is the leading UK chocolate confectionery market with thirteen brands in the top thirty. This is eight more than anyone else! Chocolate is a big market with its annual sales in the UK over 500,000 tonnes and export sales of 98,000 tonnes. Out of the whole of the European Union, Britain has one of the highest chocolate consumption levels, with 90% of the population buying chocolate on a regular basis, and this is due to chocolate being sold at an affordable price.
