BC Safety Charter Welcomes First Seafood Processor – Orca Specialty Foods

Ben Hume, steering committee chair of the BC Safety Charter, today announced that the Orca Specialty Foods has become the first sea food processor to join the ranks of leading BC businesses which have signed the Charter.

“We are very pleased to welcome Orca Specialty Foods on board,” says Hume.

He added, “Whenever a new industry is represented on the membership it is very important as a symbol to the rest of the business community in BC.”

The BC Safety Charter now has 134 signatories, well ahead of its target of 90 for 2014, and is now well-represented in most business sectors in BC. The organization will be holding its annual Charter Roundtable event on April 30 at the Burnaby Delta Hotel and Conference Centre.

The landmark document, representing a commitment to lead and promote the highest level of health and safety culture within their organizations and to work together to promote the cause of safer and healthier workplaces in BC, was launched in October of 2011 and has been growing steadily ever since.

Orca Specialty Foods Ltd. was founded in 1995 and prides itself on building strong B2B partnerships, markets and high quality product offerings.
