Bulmer's is one of Ireland’s most recognised cider brands, producing a range of traditional and craft ciders made from locally sourced apples. Operating from its production facility in Clonmel, County Tipperary, the company distributes cider widely across Ireland through both retail and on-trade channels.
As a heritage beverage manufacturer with large-scale production operations, maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and regulatory compliance is essential to protecting both staff and brand reputation.
The Challenge
Bulmers needed a solution that would ensure:
- Compliance with COSHH and workplace safety regulations
- Immediate emergency decontamination in chemical handling areas
- Strategic placement across high-risk production zones
- Durable, low-maintenance safety equipment suitable for a busy facility
The challenge was implementing these safety measures without disrupting day-to-day production.
The Solution
At Hyde Park Environmental, we delivered a tailored workplace safety solution for the Bulmers production facility by supplying and installing 15 emergency safety shower and eyewash units across key operational areas.
Following a detailed assessment of the site, we identified high-risk zones where chemicals and cleaning agents are regularly used, including sanitation and production support areas. From there, we strategically positioned each emergency safety shower and eyewash station to ensure employees have fast and reliable access to emergency decontamination equipment in the event of chemical exposure.
We selected robust, industrial-grade units designed to meet COSHH compliance requirements and workplace safety standards, ensuring they are highly visible, easy to operate, and suitable for demanding manufacturing environments. These systems provide long-term reliability, durability, and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for busy production facilities.
Working closely with the Bulmers team, we ensured the installation process was efficient and carefully integrated into the existing facility layout. This approach allowed us to position the units close to chemical handling areas while maintaining clear access routes and minimal disruption to daily production operations.
By implementing compliant emergency safety showers and eyewash stations, we helped Bulmers strengthen its chemical safety infrastructure, improve emergency response capability, and enhance protection for staff working across the production environment.
The Result
The installation delivered:
- 15 compliant emergency safety shower and eyewash stations
- Improved chemical safety and staff protection
- Full compliance with COSHH safety requirements
- Enhanced workplace safety across production areas
This upgrade strengthened Bulmers’ health and safety infrastructure, enhanced employee protection, and ensured full compliance with COSHH safety requirements—without disrupting day-to-day operations.
By investing in reliable emergency safety equipment, Bulmers has created a safer working environment while maintaining efficient production processes.
