Provide a Safe Work Environment

A safe work environment is possible for employees through education and training. The pork industry offers national training and certification programs such as the Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) Plus*.

Our partners demonstrate their commitment to the We Care principles through PQA Plus certification, which includes training, testing, and an on-site assessment for a thorough review of the farm’s facilities, equipment, animal care, and well-being practices. Since the program was launched, we have received 5,145 PQA Plus certifications.

*PQA Plus is a comprehensive food safety and animal well-being program that provides farmers and farm employees with the right resources and proper knowledge to improve farm operations.
