according to the company.
While the pads are good for
general front-of-house and
back-of-house situations, they're
designed in order to handle the
more unpleasant situations. In
case of bodily fluid spill, the pads
allow the user to more quickly
and completely contain the spill in
order to prevent the spread of airborne diseases. Also, their yellow
color provides an immediate visual indicator of the affected area.

Regular routines
Routine maintenance is a staple
for high-functioning retailers, and
it's an important tool in keeping
employees and shoppers safe.
It's a good idea to have one
employee per shift regularly

DO YOUR
RESEARCH
Your store should have
incident reports, and if
not, it's imperative to
begin tracking them.
Organize the data in a
spreadsheet or checklist
to find out important
recurring themes.

inspect shelves and displays for
broken or spilled merchandise
that could make its way onto the
floor and create a slipping hazard
if left unattended.
Federated Insurance, a
Winnipeg, Canada-based firm that
specializes in insuring supermarkets and other retailers, suggests
scheduling any floor cleaning
after hours, if possible. It says that
while clean floors are an important part of grocery store success,
a freshly mopped floor is highly
dangerous for shoppers, even
with a wet floor sign in plain view.
Also, stairways should be
checked regularly to ensure that
walking surfaces and handrails are in good condition and
slip-resistant.

Take it outside
While most of your attention to
keep shoppers and employees
safe is rightly affixed to the interior of the store - especially the
perimeter - you can't ignore the
rest of your property.
The parking lot can be a minefield of potholes, uneven surfaces,
cracks and other debris. Any possible tripping hazards should be
clearly marked until they are fixed.
