Most retail owners think safety paperwork is for warehouses and job sites. Then a lithium-ion battery catches fire in the stockroom, or a late-shift robbery turns into a workers' comp claim. Your documents are tailored to what your store actually handles — the base safety program every store needs, plus battery-fire and robbery/workplace-violence modules added when they apply. Delivered in less than 48 hours.
Every retail order starts with four core documents. Then, based on two questions in your intake form, we add the battery-fire and/or robbery modules that apply to your store. You don't pay for sections you don't need, and you're never missing the ones you do.
When you place a Complete Safety System order, your intake form asks two quick questions. Your answers decide whether these modules are built into your documents — at no extra charge as part of the Complete Safety System.
The signature retail hazard most owners overlook. Covers safe storage, charging, damaged-cell handling, thermal-runaway response, and what to do when a pack starts venting. Built into your WSP, HazCom, and JHA when it applies.
Cash-heavy, late hours, working alone. Covers robbery response, de-escalation, opening/closing procedures, and post-incident steps. Pairs with the Texas Workplace Violence poster many retailers are required to post.
Retail looks low-risk on paper. The citations and claims that hit retail come from a short list of specific hazards — and a generic national template addresses none of them by name.
Stores that stock or charge lithium-ion batteries face a real thermal-runaway fire risk — phones, vape hardware, e-bikes, power banks. Your Battery Fire Procedure covers safe storage, charging, damaged-cell handling, and venting response. This is the retail hazard most owners never plan for until it happens.
Workplace violence is a leading cause of fatal injury in retail. Your Robbery & Workplace Violence Plan documents robbery response, de-escalation, and opening/closing procedures — and pairs with the Texas Workplace Violence notice many retailers are required to post.
Cleaning agents, and — for stores that handle them — e-liquids and nicotine concentrate, fall under HazCom. Your HazCom Program includes a chemical inventory, SDS management, and GHS labeling. Air-quality and e-liquid handling content is added only when your store stocks those products.
Texas requires employers to report work-related injuries to their workers' comp carrier within 8 days using DWC Form-001 — including a slip on a wet floor or a back injury from stocking. Your WSP and Orientation reference this Texas-specific requirement directly.
OSHCON is TDI's free, confidential on-site consultation program for Texas employers. Having a Written Safety Plan and HazCom Program in place dramatically improves the outcome. ReadyDocs Safe documents are designed to pass OSHCON review.
Slips, trips, falls, and unsafe material stacking are the bread-and-butter of retail injury claims. Your WSP addresses housekeeping, stockroom storage height, ladder use, and box-cutter handling — the everyday hazards that drive most retail workers' comp claims.
These are actual content areas from a Retail Written Safety Plan. Note: ReadyDocs Safe documents address workplace safety only — they make no claim about what products are legal to sell.
Safe storage away from heat and exits, charging-station rules, how to isolate a swollen or damaged cell, and the thermal-runaway response — including evacuation and when to call 911. Built in only when your store stocks or charges batteries.
Comply-don't-resist robbery protocol, de-escalation basics, working-alone and late-shift precautions, cash-handling and opening/closing procedures, and post-incident steps including employee support and DWC reporting.
For stores that stock e-liquids: spill cleanup, nicotine-concentrate handling, ventilation, and PPE. This is purely a workplace-safety section addressing chemical exposure and air quality — it does not address what is legal to sell, which is handled separately on the HR/legal side.
ReadyDocs Safe handles the safety half — battery fire, e-liquid handling, robbery and workplace violence. The legal half — age verification, ID checks, and drug policy — lives on the ReadyDocs HR side. Total Compliance bundles both so a CBD, vape, or smoke shop is covered end to end, with documents kept current as rules change.
Both options are built for retail and tailored by your intake answers. The Complete Safety System is right for most stores — it includes all five document types plus the battery and/or robbery modules that apply to you, at no extra charge.
The three foundational documents. Covers the everyday OSHA requirements for a small retail operation.
All five document types — plus the Battery Fire Procedure and/or Robbery & Workplace Violence Plan automatically added based on what your store handles.
Complete Safety System — tailored to your store — $497. Delivered in less than 48 hours as editable Word files.
