Retail
The wheels of commerce seem to turn on the nation’s retailers, and with good reason: they sell everything from books and clothing to auto parts and garden furniture. The risks for this industry are as wide-ranging as the list of items our country’s retailers sell: a customer could slip on an icy walkway in winter; electrical breakdown can halt the steady flow of customers through the doors; a delivery may result in an accident that will take lives and damage property.
At Hanover Risk Solutions, we’ve studied all these risks and brought our considerable resources to bear on the problems that you face.

Safety for you and your workers who travel doesn't just mean safety on the road. Do you and your workers know how to stay safe when parking the car, in your own lot or somewhere else? A parking lot can be a source of theft or injury for your staff wherever they are. Teach your workers to be safe when they travel, and consider these issues for your own parking area as well.
