YOUR WORKPLACE IN FOCUS
Shops & retail
Customer-facing premises, stockrooms, staff and the risks of everyday work.
Start with the way you work.
Tell the finder about your premises, nation and people. You can refine the answer as you go.
AN EXAMPLE TO ADAPT“I run a shop in Wales with 6 staff, a stockroom and a customer seating area.”
Topics worth checking
These are starting points, not a complete list of obligations.
Does my business need a fire risk assessment?
Start with the risks in your building, the people using it and who is responsible for each part.
Electrical safetyIs annual PAT testing a legal requirement?
Electrical equipment must be safe. The right inspection and testing regime depends on how it is used.
Health & safetyWhere do I start with a workplace risk assessment?
Understand what could harm people in your business and take practical steps to control it.
Health & safetyHow many first-aiders does my business need?
Your working patterns and risks matter as much as the number of staff.
Before you ask for a quote
Separate customer areas, stockrooms and any shared or residential areas. Access outside trading hours can change a quote.
- Does the scope include stockrooms and staff areas?
- What can be completed safely during trading hours?
- Who controls shared entrances and building services?
Specialist activities may need additional assessments, permissions or sector guidance. The finder does not certify compliance or replace a competent assessment of your workplace.
