Using the Cash Safe Efficiently

by Junior Douglas, from the Community

This cash safe usage checklist helps staff document every interaction with the safe from opening to closing. Record the purpose of access, confirm manager awareness, and note the contents on opening. Log items taken and placed, capture evidence, and identify any witnesses with signatures. On closing, record remaining contents, the time of closure, and verify the safe is locked and secure. Designed for retail and store operations to support cash handling control, accountability, and loss prevention procedures.
