Simple Safety in Retailing

Whether you own a small corner shop, run a book store or manage a clothes shop, health and safety should be on your "to do" list.

Our Simple Safety toolkit will help you protect yourself, your employees and your customers, and includes:

  • Simple Safety Data Sheets - hand these out to your staff or put on your notice board. These data sheets outline in very basic terms the key issues to watch out for
  • Simple Safety Briefings - content for you to use at staff inductions, training sessions or one-on-one sessions

If you want to make things more formal, ask each employee to sign and date the data sheet so that you have a central record of everyone's participation. It's your responsibility as the owner/manager to ensure that your employees are safety aware.
