OHS and Shrinkage Audit Checklist (Retail)

by Brent Jenkins, from the Community

30+

Use this OHS and shrinkage audit to standardize loss prevention and safety checks across retail stores. The checklist covers back-of-house controls (transfer folders, customer pickup logs, repair and credit status, smashed panels), storeroom standards (Dexion racking by product type, bulky goods weight limits, housekeeping), and office compliance (manager sign-offs, Apple refund log, invoice checks). On the shop floor, verify source tagging and spider wraps for high-theft items, headphone security, alarm functionality, merchandising of up-top stock, and safe stacking. Help managers reduce shrinkage, improve compliance, and maintain a safe, organized store.

Retail Stock Loss and Store Audit Checklist
Use this retail loss prevention checklist to audit store operations and reduce stock loss. Review daily stock on hand and investigations, verify manager sign-off on invoices for phones, computers, TVs and audio, and check minimum security for high-value items like home security and accessories. Photograph each storeroom aisle and customer pickup logs, track outstanding repairs and unsellables, and follow up stock on return and EDI items approaching deadlines. Note write-offs, ensure damaged or faulty TVs are photographed, and confirm the store is free of smashed panels. Submit the completed audit with photos to managers as part of weekly reporting.
