π¦ DROPPED MERCHANDISE & CLUTTERED STORE AISLES
Store aisles shouldn't become obstacle courses.
Boxes, merchandise, pallets, stocking carts, packaging, electrical cords, and other objects left where customers walk can create dangerous tripping hazards.
After an accident, the location of the object can become extremely important.
Was merchandise left in the middle of an aisle? Was an employee stocking shelves? How long was the obstruction there? Did employees walk past it? Did surveillance cameras capture the area?
If you're able, take close-up and wide-angle photographs before anything is moved. Report the accident and identify anyone who witnessed the fall or saw the condition beforehand.
Once an employee moves that box or stocking cart, recreating exactly what happened can become much harder.
