Industry Challenges
Why Retail & Hospitality Safety Is Uniquely Complex
Fast-paced environments, high turnover, and public-facing operations create safety challenges that traditional tools cannot address.
High Employee Turnover
Retail turnover rates exceed 60% annually, making consistent safety training and compliance nearly impossible with traditional methods.
Slips, Trips & Falls
The #1 cause of retail workplace injuries. Wet floors, cluttered aisles, and uneven surfaces create constant hazard exposure across every shift.
Manual Handling Injuries
Stocking shelves, unloading deliveries, and repetitive lifting cause musculoskeletal disorders that account for 30%+ of retail workers' comp claims.
Multi-Location Complexity
Managing safety consistently across dozens or hundreds of locations with varying layouts, staffing, and local regulations is overwhelming.
Customer & Employee Safety Overlap
Unlike other industries, retail must protect both workers and the public simultaneously, doubling the compliance and liability exposure.
No Unified Safety Data
Incident reports in email, inspections on paper, training tracked in spreadsheets. Without centralized data, you can't identify trends or prove ROI.
