Enhancing Safety and Comfort: Badger’s Partnership with Central Agri Group

Central Agri Group (CAG), a prominent meat processor in Australia, has been relying on Badger, a trusted manufacturer of workwear and personal protective equipment (PPE), for the past five years. With CAG’s operations spanning across four locations, including chilled and frozen work areas, Badger has played a crucial role in providing high-quality uniforms and specialized cold storage PPE to ensure the safety and comfort of CAG’s staff.

CAG faced challenges in maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment for its employees, particularly in cold store areas which pose unique WHS risks. The need for suitable workwear and PPE that could withstand temperatures down to -25°C and whilst still being flexible enough to allow them to complete the day to day warehouse duties was paramount.

Recognizing the unique requirements of Central Agri Group, Badger collaborated closely with their management team to supply a range of high-performance chiller & freezer garments to address the specific needs of CAG’s staff.

Benefits and Results:

1. Enhanced Safety: Badger’s cold storage PPE, including insulated jackets, pants, gloves, and headgear, provided excellent protection against freezing temperatures, preventing frostbite and hypothermia risks.
2. Improved Comfort: Badger’s workwear incorporated advanced fabric technologies that offered insulation and moisture-wicking properties, ensuring CAG’s employees remained comfortable throughout their shifts.
3. Durability and Longevity: Badger’s workwear and PPE were designed using durable materials, extending the lifespan of the garments and reducing the need for frequent replacements. This is backed up by Badger’s 24 month warranty on zips & seams.
4. Branding and Identity: Badger incorporated CAG’s logo and branding elements into the uniforms, fostering a sense of unity and professionalism among the workforce.
5. Reliable Partnership: Over the course of the five-year engagement, Badger consistently demonstrated their commitment to CAG’s success by providing timely and reliable service, ensuring uninterrupted supply of uniforms and PPE.

Badger’s partnership with Central Agri Group has significantly contributed to the safety, comfort, and well-being of CAG’s employees. By delivering high-quality, specialized workwear and PPE, Badger has played a vital role in helping CAG maintain a productive and secure working environment. As CAG continues to grow and expand, the collaboration with Badger remains essential in meeting their evolving needs and ensuring the welfare of their workforce.
