Blackwoods proudly supports Australia’s sugar manufacturers with industry-wide solutions to safety challenges. The Australian Sugar Manufacturers (ASM) Industry Safety Conference brings manufacturers and industry partners like Blackwoods together to explore issues and share ideas.

As a long-time ASM partner, Blackwoods served as a gold sponsor of the 2025 event, showcasing several solutions developed in collaboration with the industry.

During 2025, Blackwoods led a trial and audit process across multiple organisations to ensure workers received fit-for-purpose hand protection.

The team also partnered with leading suppliers to develop an exclusive lockout tagout system that gives organisations the right equipment, clear information and up-to-date registers to strengthen isolation practices.

Another important project delivered a digital entitlement solution that allows employees to order their own clothing within set allowances. This approach ensures everyone gets the appropriate gear for the job, while streamlining the process.

Blackwoods is looking forward to continuing the partnership with industry in 2026, collaborating on innovative, cost-neutral solutions that support safety - and success!

These solutions can be rolled out across any manufacturing and heavy industrial operation facing similar safety challenges. Blackwoods regularly engages with organisations to deliver custom solutions for a range of business needs. Talk to your account manager to find out more.
