Posted By Rob sharp Hi All, We have a team of merchandisers that visit our stores during and after store re-fits. I have been asked to put together a risk assessment/inspection checklist they must fill in before they commence their work. Has anyone got any ideas of what I should include in this? I think i've got most of the basics, but don't know if i've missed anything. Thanks in advance Rob

Posted By Elfin Davy Hi Rob Why not book a day with the merchandisers and a) see for yourself exactly what they do and how they do it, and b) assess the risks they come across in their role. While you're with them, you can also ask them if this is what they face in a "normal" day or whether there are other more "site specific" risks they contend with from time to time (in which case another site visit may be in order). This approach kills two birds with one stone - they feel you have an interest in them, and you obtain the information you need - job done.
