Our Management Approach
Our safety policies are designed to promote a safe work culture for our more than 59,600 team members. The Pilgrim’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System focuses on training and educating our team members and eliminating workplace hazards, meeting relevant government requirements in each country.
Our American and Puerto Rican facilities operate in alignment with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. In Europe, our programs meet the Health Safety Executive Reporting of Incidents Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). In Mexico, our team tracks data according to the government Secretaria del Trabajo and the Safety and Health regulations, which comply with OSHA standards.
Pilgrim’s facilities are equipped with a Safety Manager. In total, we have more than 300 team members whose roles and responsibilities are dedicated to the health and safety of our team members in our facilities. Every facility also has a safety committee that is led by the facility Safety Manager or Site director, equipped with leading key members of the teams on site.
To continuously improve, we set companywide and facility-specific safety goals each year and track leading safety indicators. Performance is reported daily, weekly and monthly to management teams.

Promoting Team Member Health
We recognize and respond to the occupational health concerns and needs of team members, and we comply with applicable state and federal regulations governing occupational health care delivery. Pilgrim's has a director of occupational health who identifies potential improvements and conducts training for occupational health staff.
Our Ergonomic Improvement Program is designed to reduce the effects of repetition, contact stress, and static postures. The program is tailored for each facility to limit or eliminate potential conditions or work activities that pose ergonomic risks at each particular site. Additionally, personal protective equipment (PPE) for team members is standard across Pilgrim's. Annual trainings and assessments for both are mandatory.

DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is a metric used by OSHA to measure the impact of workplace injuries. In 2022, we reduced our DART rate by 5% and improved our Safety Index score by 16%, compared to 2021. Although we had no fatalities in 2022, Pilgrim's U.S. TRIR increased 2% in 2022 compared with 2021. We will continue to strive for improved company performance around safety and allocate resources and tools to better understand and correct any issues at their core and improve the overall safety of our team members.
