OHS and Shrinkage Audit Checklist (Retail)
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.
