Retail Safety

Supporting Retail Employers with Real-World Safety Solutions

Ascend Safety partners with retail organizations to build safer, more resilient workplaces in a constantly changing industry. From large national chains to regional operations, we understand the unique challenges retail employers face: a geographically dispersed workforce, high turnover, a mix of young and aging workers, and growing concerns around workplace violence and regulatory complexity.

Our experience working with retail teams in diverse markets has shown us that effective safety strategies must be practical, adaptable, and people-focused. We help employers navigate both federal OSHA requirements and state-specific rules - offering clarity and confidence in managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

We also recognize the realities of retail operations, including fast-paced environments, limited onsite leadership, and varying levels of safety experience among staff. Ascend Safety works directly with leaders and employees to build engagement, streamline training, and implement consistent safety practices across locations.

We help retail employers:

  • Develop and implement scalable safety programs for dispersed teams

  • Navigate OSHA compliance across multiple states

  • Address risks tied to high turnover and young/inexperienced workers

  • Support an aging workforce with ergonomics and injury prevention

  • Build readiness and response plans for workplace violence and other emerging threats

  • Strengthen leadership accountability and employee buy-in
