The Shop Risk Assessment is a mandatory document required under Maltese law for retail establishments to ensure compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act (Cap. 424) and related regulations. This assessment must be conducted when setting up a new retail operation, after significant changes to the premises or operations, or as part of regular safety reviews (typically annually). The document includes comprehensive evaluation of workplace hazards, risk mitigation strategies, emergency procedures, and training requirements specific to retail environments. It serves as both a legal compliance tool and a practical guide for maintaining workplace safety in Malta's retail sector, taking into account both local and EU safety standards. The assessment is particularly crucial for protecting employees, customers, and visitors while helping businesses avoid potential legal liabilities and ensure regulatory compliance.
