The Hidden Costs of Accidents in Retail Logistics

13 Nov 2025
Seminar Theatre 4 UK

Behind every accident in retail logistics lies a chain of hidden costs — from overtime and recruitment to damaged stock, missed deliveries, and reduced staff morale. For retailers, the impact on both operations and profit margins is significant.

In this session, SHS will reveal how businesses can reduce risk, protect employees, and improve efficiency through smarter goods movement. Drawing on insights from guest safety experts, including RoSPA and a health and safety expert from a major UK grocery retailer, and real-world case studies, the session will show how safety-led strategies prevent injuries while strengthen ROI.

What You'll Learn:

* The hidden financial and operational costs of accidents in retail logistics.

* Practical strategies to reduce manual handling risks, protect staff and cut stock damage.

* How safety-led improvements can deliver measurable ROI - with tools and case study examples you can apply in your business.
