Retail safety has been a prominent legal concern for essential businesses that have remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although retailers have attempted to mitigate the spread of coronavirus, many essential workers have fallen ill from COVID-19 on the job. As states begin to reopen and nonessential businesses open their doors, more and more retailers—big and small—are likely to find themselves the subjects of health and safety lawsuits.Â
If you’re preparing a premise liability lawsuit involving the wellbeing of retail workers or patrons, it’s critical to consult an expert in retail safety who can discuss the management of safety concerns in a workplace.Â
Retail safety expert witnesses can discuss:
Potential hazards presented by COVID-19 in a retail workplace
Preventative responsibilities for employersÂ
OSHA compliance for retail businesses
Violations of CDC guidelines for essential businesses
New safety protocols for reopening businesses
