Unilever North Rocks

Unilever has been manufacturing on the North Rocks Road site since 1969, employing over 100 people within the manufacturing operations.

The North Rocks site is a high hazard manufacturing site (in accordance with Unilever Global Standards) due to the bulk storage of alcohol and un-odorised LPG, which is used in the production of aerosol deodorants.

Unilever North Rocks has extensive control measures in place to prevent a major accident such as a fire or explosion. These control measures are regularly tested and maintained to ensure they are in good working order.

The site has an emergency plan in place to respond to incidents on the site itself and incidents that may affect our neighbours. This plan has been shared with NSW Fire and Rescue Service and is subject to regular tests.

In the event that an incident occurs that may affect our neighbours near the site, the Unilever site will be evacuated, and NSW Emergency Services will attend. In the unlikely event neighbouring properties will need to be evacuated, this will be undertaken by NSW Police.
