Trivium Packaging: Elevating Health and Safety with Capptions
July 5, 2026
Trivium Packaging, based in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, is a major producer of metal packaging, making cans for the food, seafood, nutrition, paints and coatings, and aerosol industries. Robert Hofmans, Global Head of Health and Safety, oversees the implementation of health and safety strategy across the Trivium Group.
The Challenge
In a manufacturing environment, health and safety depends on catching problems early and following through on them. Trivium needed a more efficient way to administer and track safety observations, incident reports, and behavioral-based safety inspections across its sites, rather than relying on paper and spreadsheets.
How Capptions Supports Trivium's Safety Management
- Streamlined reporting: Capptions gave Trivium an easy-to-use way for employees to report near misses, dangerous situations, and accidents.
- Structured safety observations: Behavioral observations and incident reports became simpler to administer and follow up on.
- Shop floor engagement: Because the platform is straightforward for shop floor employees to use, participation in safety initiatives increased.
Impact and Progress
Adopting Capptions marked a real shift in how Trivium manages health and safety:
- Better data management: Moving off paper and Excel sheets and onto a unified system gave Trivium comprehensive insight into its safety data.
- Higher employee engagement: Workers can track their own reports, and results are shared weekly, reinforcing a culture of safety rather than a top-down compliance exercise.
- Clearer communication: Regular updates on TV screens on the shop floor keep safety visible and top of mind.
Trivium Packaging's experience shows how digital inspection and reporting tools can shift safety culture in a manufacturing environment, not just speed up admin. For manufacturers handling hazardous substances at scale, where Seveso III / BRZO classification may apply, the same shift from paper-based, siloed reporting to a unified, real-time system is often what makes structured compliance realistic to sustain day to day.
