What are the potential hazards at Aldi stores?
Aldi is known for their relatively small stores with products displayed in a warehouse-like setup. The number and variety of products found in one small space can potentially lead to several different in-store hazards.
Regardless, Aldi, like other business, has a responsibility to maintain a safe store. Some common grocery store safety issues that might present themselves at Aldi include:
- Pallets of products partially blocking narrow aisles
- Faulty refrigeration and freezer cases leaking water
- Food debris in produce areas
- Discarded boxes near the self-bagging counter
- Wet floors near the store’s entrance and exit from rain or snow
- Slick aisles if products leak from packages
When these kinds of safety concerns are present in a supermarket, they have the potential to cause slip and fall accidents if they are not identified and corrected
