    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Absence of regular health and safety audits by a suitably qualified professional

    Wider context from the report

    “2) The second concern relates to the absence of regular health and safety audits by a suitably qualified health and safety professional. It was understood that Hugo Boss’ new health and safety manager is to commence annual audits to check for compliance in the coming months. It seemed very likely on the evidence that a health and safety professional, particularly with knowledge of Hugo Boss store layout and fixtures and fittings, would have discovered the unsafe mirror. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to ensure store managers are aware of monthly health and safety checklists

    Wider context from the report

    “1) It was apparent from the evidence of the aforementioned Store Manager and General Manager that they had received only very basic health and safety training and no training whatsoever in health and safety management responsibilities in respect of health and safety. Neither appeared to know of the existence of monthly health and safety checklists which the store manager is supposed to complete. More widely, the evidence indicated that there was a lack of understanding within Hugo Boss about roles and responsibilities in terms of health and safety. ”
