  • Stock loss or damage due to handling, storage, or environmental conditions

  • Theft, fraud, and security risks across premises and supply chains

  • Warehouse and storage risks, including racking safety and vehicle interaction

  • Transport and goods movement risks, including loading, unloading, and deliveries

  • Fire and property risks within retail and storage environments

  • Cyber and data risks affecting online sales, payment systems, and customer information

  • Occupational health risks for staff, including repetitive strain and workplace stress

  • Contractor and third-party risks across maintenance, fit-out, and logistics activities

  • Regulatory compliance across health, safety, and consumer protection requirements

How external consultancy can help:

An independent risk and health & safety consultancy can support retail and wholesale businesses by reviewing workplace layouts, operational processes, and supply chain activities to identify key risks and improve safety controls.

This includes developing safe systems of work, improving manual handling procedures, supporting fire and emergency planning, assisting with compliance requirements, delivering staff training, and conducting site audits.

Ongoing consultancy support helps reduce incidents, improve operational efficiency, strengthen compliance, and create safer environments for both employees and customers.
