Keystone Hardware (KH) is a hardware store located in a retail park just outside a large town. It opened 10 years ago.


Back in their office the SM reviews their ‘To Do’ list and adds to it ‘Review noise exposure at VPS’. The list is already quite long and includes reviewing the approach to manual handling risk assessments.


The café at KH is always extremely busy. The seating area is surrounded by tall screens. These help to shield the customers in the café from cold air that comes in through the open entrance doors.
