JTA understands that the retail environment is different to many other workplaces in that it must also accommodate customers. Our experienced consultants provide retail services that cover all the WHS/OHS issues relevant to retail workers, customer/public safety and public perception.
The retail trade in Australia employs 11% of the workforce and accounts for about 10,500 serious workers’ compensation claims and six traumatic work-related fatalities each year. Hazards often found in the retail industry include manual handling, slips, trips and falls, machinery and equipment, electrical, and fatigue.
JTA has assembled a corporate knowledge bank over 35 years identifying and assessing asbestos containing materials (ACM), hazardous chemicals and other hazards in tens of thousands of retail workplaces across a wide variety of retail environments.
Our consultants are all experienced professionals who are skilled in Asbestos Audits and understand where ACM can be found and how best to deal with it in the retail workplace where demolition or refurbishment is planned and carried out while the store continues to operate. This is a constantly changing environment and we regularly consult our network of professional associations and experts within the Statutory Authorities to ensure we are aware of the latest asbestos legislation interpretations and control options.
In addition to asbestos, we can assist you with the complete range of Hazardous Materials handling and storage issues including Crystalline Silica, Hazardous Chemicals, PCB’s, Lead in paints, Synthetic Mineral Fibre, Mould and Air Quality.
With over 35 years’ experience in retail, JTA’s consultants can analyse Contractor Management requirements and tailor practical systems for your workplace that deliver compliance. We can dramatically reduce paperwork and increase your focus on significant risks and key compliance issues, keeping your workers safe and productive and your workplace compliant.
