The retail industry is a major employer in the UK, employing around 3 million people. Retail workers may not be exposed to the same risks experienced by those in construction or industrial environments, however, retail workers are still recorded regularly as absent from work because of an accident in the workplace.
We can help you develop a Health and Safety plan for your stores. A risk assessment is a legal obligation under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and if a company has more than five employees, it needs to be written down.
We can assist by identifying risks to your staff within the retail environment.
We Cover:
- Health and Safety Risk Assessments and Action Plan
- Fire Safety Risk Assessments and Action Plan
- Health and Safety and Fire Safety Management System Documentation
- Activity Risk Assessments

Why should you consider Health and Safety in the retail environment?
The shop may seem like a safe place, but hazards exist and there are well documented cases of staff being injured through neglect of Health and Safety regulations and weak risk assessments.
Leave it to Workplace Risk Management.
We’re here to help, undertaking store risk assessments, advising on your legal obligations and delivering a documented approach to managing the risks your office and store based employees face.
