Areas beyond the retail workplace
In some circumstances, the areas beyond or surrounding a retail workplace may pose greater security dangers for an employee.
Risk factor
- Duties that require an employee to access or pass through car parks and rubbish bin areas
Suggested measures
- Roster certain activities during low risk periods (e.g. during the day, not at night)
- Install additional lighting to certain areas
- Engage security personnel
- Establish security procedures such as a 'buddy' system
- Provide personal alarms
