Risk Assessments
Risk Assessments are a key part of Health and Safety because they set out what the possible risks are in your business. Retailers must carry out a Health and Safety Risk Assessment for their premises to identify the possible risks.
For a convenience store or newsagent the HSE has produced an example risk assessment which sets out the sorts of issues you should be looking for, and how to write an assessment. While you cannot use this as your risk assessment it is a useful guide to show what hazards you should be looking out for. The example risk assessment is available from the HSE website or click on the document icons below to download now;
