Could a slip, trip or fall harm your employee – or worse, your customer?

The implications could be extremely damaging to your business. Are shop premises really low risk? Our experience in the retail sector suggests that in any busy location, there will be dangers. Falling objects, trailing leads or crushing crowds during busy sale periods, can all cause injury to staff and the public.
