Health and safety services for the retail sector

At SML, we understand very well the everyday pressures of working in a retail environment. An environment where interaction with customers can often result in unpredictable situations, and where assumptions about behaviour cannot be made in the same way as you would with your employees.

To assist you in managing these types of situations, we can help to make health and safety an everyday part of the world you work in. We have experience in numerous retail environments ranging from small local shops to high-end multi-storey London stores.

We help our retail clients to devise best practice health and safety plans and safe working processes for a number of in-store situations, including:

Safe Delivery and Stockroom Operation
Fire Risk Assessment
Evacuation Procedures for Complex Buildings
Simple Processes to allow our clients to manage day-to-day safety
Risk Assessments with emphasis on Customer Safety
Simple Safety Management Systems for Retail

Our clients say

Christopher Kane is now an independent brand and SML have helped us to produce our own simple, retail-specific, health and safety management system and risk assessments. They have made the process straightforward and jargon-free and given us the peace of mind to know that the safety of our workforce is protected. They have also supported us with practical advice on re-opening the business safely after Covid-19. We have very much valued their support and professionalism during our transition as a business and look forward to continuing to work with them as we continue on our journey.
