Protecting workers from violence and abuse - a union rep's guide (February 2017)

Chapter 3

Sector-specific guidance

[ch 3: page 41]

In addition to general guidance, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publishes guidance explaining how employers should tackle violence at work in particular sectors such as retail and the licensed trade, as well as in smaller businesses. Essentially this follows the well-established process of risk assessment, followed by the introduction of prevention and control measures and regular review. Safety reps should be involved at every stage of this process.
