What are retailers’ responsibilities?

Retailers must assess risks, create evacuation and lockdown plans, and train staff to respond quickly and effectively in emergencies.

Digital signage, PA systems, and mobile alerts can quickly communicate with staff and customers, helping coordinate safe movement or lockdown procedures.

How can retailers manage compliance across multiple stores?

Centralised, cloud-based platforms allow consistent messaging and monitoring across all locations and even deliver different messages to different zones based on where the threat is evolving.

Depending on the tier your retail outlet falls into could result in signifcant financial and legal consequences with up to £10,000 for standard tier premises and up to £18 million or 5% of worldwide revenue for enhanced tier premises.
