Cash handling and financial security
— Encourage contactless payment, keep tills with limited floats, and store cash in safes. Train staff in robbery response, counterfeit checks, and discreet handling. Stagger bank drops.
Allergen management in fresh food counters
— Maintain allergen charts, label products clearly, and train staff in scripted customer responses. Use separate utensils for allergen-free items, sanitise between uses, and log all allergen requests/incidents.
Staff fatigue and long shifts
— Rotate staff across roles, schedule regular breaks, and provide hydration and seating. Train supervisors to recognise fatigue and monitor overtime hours to avoid excessive workloads.
Pandemic/infectious disease control
— Provide sanitiser stations, clean trolleys and baskets between uses, and train staff in PPE use. Use signage for distancing, monitor capacity during outbreaks, and clean high-touch areas frequently. Maintain contingency plans for future health events.
Use of forklifts and pallet movers
— Train staff to certification, enforce speed limits, and keep marked pedestrian zones. Fit reversing alarms and lights, inspect forklifts daily, and record servicing. Keep customers away from active stock areas.
