Many retailers have employees working at height on an almost daily basis – moving stock, changing displays, deploying POS material and other visual merchandising activity, and carrying out general cleaning and maintenance duties. However, the pressure to complete tasks quickly, with minimal disruption in-store sometimes means this work is carried out in an unsafe and non-compliant way – often store employees resorting to use of unofficial or inappropriate access. With falls from height accounting for 26% of all workplace fatalities in the UK (HSE - 2015-16 stats), finding a solution to this becomes a clear priority.
Having worked with some of Europe’s leading retail brands HLS has a proven track record in solving retailers’ unique compliance and safety challenges. Traditional MEWPs are not always right for a retail environment. So whether you need simple, safe ladder platforms, a push-around or driveable access platform for your shops, or could use our bespoke or consultancy service, we can help you comply with regulations, avoid accidents and near-misses, and maximise your employees’ ability to keep displays up to date and shelves full.
HLS working at height expert
“With the right work at height solution, retailers can comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, LOLER and PUWER without having to compromise. They can also make a massive difference to morale, and avoid any number of indirect costs around sick pay, overtime, increased insurance premiums and legal bills. And because we understand that employee turnover can be high in some retail environments we can recommend products that do not require extensive operator training, or where colleagues can be trained in just a few hours.”
