Handy tips for Small retailers

Intruder alarms

Alarms can protect your assets after hours and make things safer for your staff. They’re a great vandal-deterrant and also ensure a rapid response if triggered.

Secure your safe

If you store valuable items in a safe, choose a quality, leading-brand safe that meets CEN European standards and has UL Rated locks. Attach it with bolts to the building.

Deep fryer safety

If you’re in the hospitality business, be sure to skim all scraps from the deep fryer on a regular basis and keep them in a closed metal container as they can be prone to spontaneous combustion for several days.

Fire protection

Automatic fire sprinklers are the best protection against the risk of fire and will help you reduce damage to assets or stock.

Personal vehicles

 If you’re using your personal vehicle to transport stock or food for business purposes, you’ll need to get Business Vehicle Insurance
