At Bee Sweet Citrus, safety has always been our top priority, which is why we’re proud to recognize our lemon wash line for their exceptional commitment to fostering a proactive and safe work environment. 🦺   Last quarter, this team has maintained an impeccable safety record by following procedures, properly utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE), and proactively identifying and addressing potential workplace hazards. Their dedication to being proactive, rather than reactive, sets a high standard for safety at The Hive. To celebrate their achievements, Bee Sweet’s Safety Committee hosted a special lunch and raffle in their honor.   “Safety is the foundation of everything we do here at Bee Sweet Citrus, and we’d like to congratulate the lemon wash line on achieving zero safety violations this past quarter,” said Bee Sweet Citrus Safety Officer, Samantha Corchado. “This accomplishment is a testament to the exceptional teamwork that keeps our packing house safe. Through our strong food safety programs and ongoing training, we remain committed to protecting every employee while upholding the highest standards across our entire operation.”   Congratulations to our lemon wash line team for leading by example!🍋 #EatMoreCitrus #SafetyAtTheHive
