Shops face many safety and security challenges on a daily basis, including controlling access and preventing fires and accidents where customers could potentially get hurt.
Car parks can also be a target for criminals and delinquents.
Since shops have one or more entry and exit points for the public or for employees and suppliers only, it is essential that only authorised persons have access to sensitive areas.
Sometimes threats do not come only from the outside, as employers have to tackle and prevent shoplifting and theft by their staff.
