Business owners and store managers have a responsibility to make sure the right standards of retail health and safety are met at all times, and this will help the company grow and succeed.
Health and safety is there to help make a location safe for anyone who might be there. This includes employees, customers, visitors, contractors and more. Each business will have different requirements to create a safe environment, but health and safety in retail stores has a lot to take into account. Not only are there more people to protect, but the number of hazards increase depending on the size and busyness of the store.
The number of hazards and risks in a shop or retail environment change depending on the size of the store, the products being sold, the number of people inside at any one time, and any equipment needed. This makes health and safety in retail complicated, but with the right support, any business can navigate it effectively.
Health and safety for retail stores is designed to help staff complete tasks in a safe and efficient way, while also maximising efficiency and creating a better experience for employees and customers alike. This can include keeping walkways clear from wires or trip hazards, ensuring products are stored safely, and even that electrical equipment is properly maintained.
To help with health and safety in retail, it’s useful to know some of the common causes of accidents and injuries that may be faced so that steps can be taken to address them. Our experienced consultants bring a wealth of knowledge and the latest up-to-date regulatory information to provide a retail health and safety checklist with actionable steps you can take.
The consultants at Rhino Safety can help with health and safety services, such as:
