***UPDATE***

Thanks to our campaign, WorkSafe committed to inspecting Honey Birdette stores for breaches.

Out of 14 workplace visits, WorkSafe found a breach of our health and safety laws and issued 14 Improvement Notices.

They included:

• No safe manual handling training

• No training on how to handle difficult or threatening customers

• Blind spots in stores

• No amenities, such as clean drinking water, provided for workers

• Failure to provide a safe workplace

• Playing music so loudly that staff in the store could not be heard if they needed to call for help.

Bottled water is now available for workers in some stores, and policies relating to safe manual handling procedures have been introduced. While this is progress we should celebrate, there’s more work to be done.

We are making progress, but there's more to do. Please sign and share.

We're calling on Honey Birdette to:
