We've been supplying retailers of all sizes across the UK with comprehensive Health & Safety eLearning for decades. We understand the challenges of coordinating training and ensuring legal compliance, particularly across larger and more varied workforces. Core Health & Safety courses such as Fire Training, Food Safety, Manual Handling and CoSHH Training should be undertaken by all staff, with other HR compliance titles such as GDPR Training (Data Protection) and Equality and Diversity often being valuable for management.

Relevant Legislation
Within the Retail sector, there are a number of legal guidelines that stipulate employers have a duty to provide adequate health and safety training for their staff. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 cover general requirements, as well as additional training for those working alone within the workplace.
Other pieces of legislation such as The Electricity at Work Act 1989 and The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 outline the necessity for training on safe use of electrical appliances and best practice for preventing slips, trip and falls. Other documents much as The Equality Act 2010, The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and The Data Protection Act 1998 are also relevant.
