Retail industry covers a wide range of service outlets & variety of businesses such as department & apparel stores, supermarkets, warehouses etc.

There are various standards and rules to ensure the safety of human life, assets, building, and equipment. For example, National Building Code of India -2016, Part 4- Fire and Life Safety, clearly mentions safety from fire –demarcation of fire zones, restrictions on construction of building based on occupancy, types of building construction according to fire resistance of the structural and non-structural components and other restrictions and requirements necessary to minimize danger of life from fire, smoke, fumes etc. under broad clauses of, Fire Prevention, Life Safety & Fire Protection. It also covers the guidelines for the electrical system & electrical safety on the installations.

Various challenges that the retail industry grapple with can be listed as

1. Multi-locational operations
2. Lack of qualified manpower to supervise/attend to complaints
3. Inability to shut down operations for electrical problems resulting in a quick fix or potentially unsafe workarounds.
4. A large number of people and/or high-value assets & equipment under one roof.
5. Lack of awareness among the staff members on safety-related aspects (High attrition in this sector complicates training on safety aspects)
