Shop Security & Safety

Shop Security & Safety

Your shop’s security is the most important aspect when opening a new retail store. Not only do you need to make sure your inventory and premises are secure, but you need to ensure that your staff remain safe at all times. A large range of effect shop security products not only helps deter thieves and intruders, but some items can also help you catch them.

Choosing the best security products for your store can vary depending on the size of your business. The security requirements of a small shop with a single doorway and 1 member of staff are likely to differ significantly from those of a larger retailer with multiple staff and levels. However, no matter the size some things are equally important no matter the size. For example, violence towards staff is a worryingly increasing trend. Therefore, all staff should be fully equipped with one of our panic alarms, just in case of an emergency.

Want to increase your business’s security? Our range of security equipment will protect your business from thieves and shoplifters. Dummy CCTV cameras not only look realistic but also react to movement. They are also quick and easy to install. Therefore, they provide an effective deterrent whilst saving you the time and money of installing an expensive CCTV system. Furthermore, security mirrors are an excellent cost-effective choice that allows you to keep an eye on blind areas of your store.

Benefits of Retail Security Systems

Implementing retail security systems can provide numerous benefits for businesses. One of the most significant benefits is the deterrence of theft, as the presence of a security system can discourage potential thieves from attempting to steal. Retail security systems can also help reduce loss, as they allow business owners to monitor activity and identify potential issues before they become a problem. In addition, these systems can increase safety for employees and customers, as they provide a sense of security and can alert authorities in the event of an emergency.

Implementing security systems requires careful planning and consideration. Businesses should select the right system for their needs and budget and ensure that it is installed properly and in the right locations. It’s also important to train employees on how to use the system effectively and to have a response plan in place in the event of an emergency. By taking these steps, businesses can ensure that their retail security system is effective and provides maximum protection for their assets.

Our anti-theft items for businesses include some highly effective deterrents including counterfeit money pens, dummy cameras, and dye tags.

Our dummy cameras look incredibly realistic and detect and follow the movement of your customers giving the impression of added security, without the expense, whereas our cost-effective security mirrors are ideal for helping retailers check on the hidden corners of their shops.

We also sell dye tags and dye tag detachers which prevent clothes theft by ruining the item when forcibly removed without specialist tools.

Safety Knives

As a retail store owner or employee, you may not think twice about using a traditional knife to open boxes or cut through packaging. However, using traditional knives in a retail environment can be dangerous and lead to serious injuries. Accidents and injuries can occur when employees are rushing to open boxes or cut through packaging. Injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious lacerations, which can result in lost productivity, medical expenses, and even lawsuits.

For this reason, we have chosen to work with Technicut SAS. A company that has taken the initiative to work with leading French universities specialising in Ergonomics. By working with these universities, ergonomic designs have been produced that reduce the danger of chronic musculoskeletal issues.

Industry best practice is the replacement of fixed and exposed blades with auto-retracting or enclosed blade safety knives. For this reason, these are the types of blades that you will find in our range. Don’t fall prey to the cheap and cheerful knives that are flooding the marketplace. Care needs to be taken as many products are claiming to be safety knives. But it should be noted that a rounded corner or a soft grip alone does not truly address ergonomic needs.

How to Choose the Right Safety Knife for Your Retail Store

When selecting a safety knife for your retail store, it’s important to consider several factors. These include the type of materials you’ll be cutting, the frequency of use, the size and shape of the knife and the ergonomics of the handle. It’s also important to train employees on how to use safety knives properly to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.

Our website offers two, disposable, safety knives that are most popular with our larger customers. The difference between the 2 depends upon the sort of work that needs to be done. One is perfect for opening boxes and cutting wrapping materials.

The other is the best solution for cutting-down cardboard. The Technicut SAS range is much broader than just disposables and features several specialist products.
