Counter culture
Article Abstract:
The high rate of retail staff turnover often means health and safety training is overlooked in some large retail outlets. Selfridges in London prefers to employ mainly fit, young people who work for the shop on a short employment contract. Retail staff must be taught how to handle violent situations, often arising from apprehending or tackling shoplifters. Retail staff can help reduce the risk of serious accidents happening to shoppers by being vigilant and having an understanding of health and safety issues.
