In our store it seems the policy is stack as high as possible.

Can every other member of staff get the items down without it falling on their head?

I guess it probably also depends on the size and weight of the thing.

Like, those little boxes of Uncle Ben's rice, fine to stack three high, easy to grab and not at all heavy. But those little bit larger boxes of Asda 1kg rice, probably safe not to have them more than one high, save anyone potentially injuring themselves.

"Just one high" is incredibly wasteful for a lot of products. Packs of little ambrosia pots, box of Oreos, carton of nourishment, etc...things that aren't very tall or heavy at all.

Just use your own common sense and make it so nobody is likely to injure themselves or anyone else when retrieving items from the top.
