Health & Safety in the Retail Environment
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the retail sector employs approximately 3 million people in the UK (HSE, 2013). ‘Retail’ is a sub sector of the service sector. Despite the fact that a high percentage of the UK economy; and indeed the economies of most major industrialised countries is made up of service sector organisations, serious safety implications within this sector are often seen as minimal (Peterson Institute for International Economics, 2011).
