Retail & Warehouses

Our health and safety experts know how to help retail outlets and warehouses improve the way they manage health and safety.

Our experienced, Chartered Health and Safety Practitioners have worked with a number of retailers and warehouses.

We understand the issues that can put your staff and your visitors at risk. This means we can conduct a thorough assessment of your current situation and identify any corrective actions you will need to take in the short, medium and long term.

We understand that finding time to address these issues may be difficult and that it may also be hard to know where to start. However, if you do not take action you may find it difficult to present evidence of your compliance in the event of possible future legal action.

We can also explain what you will need to do to remain compliant with the relevant legislation whilst providing your employees, customers and visitors with as safe an environment as possible. This includes support with preparing COVID-19 risk assessments and assessing the measures you have in place to deal with the virus.

In the retail and warehouses sector there are a high number of preventable accidents and manual handling related injuries. Staff may be at risk of falling objects, working at height and exposure to hazardous substances. Therefore, it is important that staff members have the appropriate training.

We will also make sure it is easy to use our advice by making it straightforward, realistic and sensible. We will set our suggestions out in clear, easy to follow steps and order them by priority so you can manage the implementation around your other responsibilities.
