Simple Safety in Retailing

Bakers shop

Whether you own a small corner shop, run a book store or manage a clothes shop, health and safety should be on your "to do" list. Our Simple Safety toolkit will help you protect yourself, your employees and your customers.

The Toolkit is made up of Simple Safety Data Sheets - hand these out to your staff or put on your notice board. These data sheets outline in very basic terms the key issues to watch out for.
