Frequently Asked Questions
Do retail businesses need a separate risk assessment for each store?
If stores are broadly similar, a template assessment with site-specific addendums is acceptable. For stores with materially different layouts or activities, a separate assessment is best practice.
We have seasonal staff — should they be mentioned in the assessment?
Yes — mention any temporary or seasonal workers and we’ll include induction, supervision, and training controls.
Does this cover violence and aggression from customers?
Yes — mention customer-facing roles and we’ll include violence and aggression risk controls, including lone working and closing procedures.
