If you want to know more about how to avoid hazards in your charity shop, have a look at the Signposts. Alternatively visit the Supporting your local community section.
- Signpost
Storage - Signpost Slips, trips and falls
- Signpost Donated goods
As you complete the questionnaire, write down any evidence to support your answers in Your notes. If you answer ‘no’ to any of the questions, you need to look at these areas in more detail.
Think about the causes of the hazards and the consequences, as well as the control measures you’ll need and who’ll be responsible for introducing them. Use Your risk map to record this information.
