Foley and Baugh offer health and safety consultancy and training to retail businesses in Great Yarmouth and across Norfolk and Suffolk.
The retail industry is one of the UK’s largest employers, providing jobs for approximately 3.5 million people. While retail workplaces may not carry the high-risk profile of construction or industrial sites, shops are not without their hazards. Many retail workers are regularly absent due to workplace injuries, highlighting the importance of a proactive approach to health and safety.
Foley and Baugh provides health and safety advice and training to retail businesses in Great Yarmouth and throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and East Anglia, helping them create tailored Health and Safety strategies that satisfy their legal obligations and keep their teams safe.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer must carry out a risk assessment. For businesses with five or more employees, this must be documented. Neglecting these duties can lead to accidents, absences, and even legal consequences.
We provide a comprehensive range of health and safety services to retail businesses, including:
- Health and safety risk assessments and action plans
- Fire safety risk assessments and fire marshal training
- Lone working risk assessments
- Training for work at height and manual handling
- Guidance on using shop equipment and hazardous substances
- Support with display screen equipment assessments
- We’ll work with you to identify potential risks and implement measures that protect your staff, customers, and reputation.
Retail environments might appear safe, but shops do come with their own set of risks – from manual handling injuries to accidents with shop equipment. Weak risk assessments or non-compliance with regulations can lead to avoidable incidents, impacting your business and employees.

Whether it’s assessing risks, providing training, or implementing and documenting a robust management plan, our team ensures your retail environment meets all necessary standards.
