Health & Safety Sector
When running a business in the retail sector, you have a legal duty to keep both your employees and customers safe at all times. Several Health & Safety risks are present in retail stores, such as:
Slip and trip hazards.
Manual handling injuries.
Working at height.
Mismanaged fire safety.
Machinery, vehicles, and safety equipment
As part of your Health & Safety obligations, you must follow the relevant regulations. This includes:
Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
The Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
But with your employees focusing on providing excellent service to your customers, their safety awareness might decrease - especially if you don't employ a Health & Safety representative.
And without the knowledge, training, or experience to uphold safety management, how can you be sure you’re compliant?
When you outsource your Health & Safety to Peninsula, we'll ensure your retail business is fully compliant with Health & Safety requirements. We provide:
Essential Health & Safety documentation.
Award-winning wellbeing support for staff
Unlimited support to deal with any Health & Safety issue.
Work with us and we’ll take away the hassle of Health & Safety management. We take care of and uphold your legal obligations, so instead of spending time on workplace safety, you can spend time ensuring you provide the best service to your customers.
Under UK Health & Safety law, employers are required to provide certain pieces of documentation, such as:
Details of staff Health & Safety training.
However, creating a new policy takes both time and training to make sure it's legally compliant. But, both can be difficult to come by when running a business in the retail environment.
As a client of Peninsula, we'll draft and review all your required documentation. We’ll also assist your company in upholding safety procedures to protect both your customers and employees.
So while you spend time providing the best deals for your customers, we'll spend time managing your Health & Safety.
Keeping your employees and customers safe whilst in your retail business is a legal requirement. So, you must implement measures to effectively control or remove the risk of harm occurring. And to establish safety required safety procedures, employers must conduct a risk assessment.
Risk assessments are a legal requirement under UK safety law, and are key in both controlling and assessing the potential risk of harm occurring on your premises. But, if it's the first time you're conducting a risk assessment, you may not know where or how to start.
That’s why so many retail businesses outsource their Health & Safety management to Peninsula.
By working with us, one of our qualified retail Health & Safety consultants will come to your site and conduct your risk assessment. We'll even provide you with a unique action plan, including implementable actions, so you know how to effectively control risks.
Our service doesn't end there, we'll even perform your fire risk assessment too. So you can relax knowing you're doing everything possible to keep your employees safe.
Managing a business in the retail sector can be both fast-paced and stressful. As a result, you might fail to uphold your safety management. And what should you do if the nightmare of an accident occurring becomes a reality?
