by Guy Rothwell, from the Community

This daily shift handover checklist supports BRC-aligned warehousing and cold chain operations. It captures day volumes, putaways, goods in, loading and pull-forward routes, and cross-dock or marshalling updates. Facility and equipment checks cover LLOPs, PPTs, FLTs, and VNAs, with hygiene reviews across ambient, chill, and freezer areas, including photos where appropriate. It prompts verification of chiller and freezer temperature records and reinforces procedures for glass damage and allergen spills. The template helps shift leaders document issues, outstanding tasks, and general comments to ensure safe, compliant, and seamless handovers between teams.

Daily Handover BRC Checklist
This BRC-focused daily handover checklist supports shift-to-shift communication in warehouse and cold chain operations. Capture operational volumes, standard and bulk counts, handover balances, and goods-in activity. Record loads for the day, pull-forward routes, and items left at handover across ambient, chiller, and freezer areas. Track putaways, x-dock and marshalling status, ETAs for inbound carriers, and cages to marshal. Verify MHE readiness across LLOPs, PPTs, FLTs, and VNAs, noting any VOR equipment. Complete hygiene and housekeeping checks throughout ambient, chill, and freezer zones, including staging areas and aisles, with optional photos. Confirm temperature records, waste management, and responses to glass or allergen incidents. Use the finishing section for general comments and follow-ups to ensure a clean, safe, and compliant operation.

Warehouse Shift Handover Checklist
This warehouse shift handover checklist helps logistics teams transfer critical operational information between shifts. Sections cover total volumes (standard, bulk, freezer), replenishment status, putaways across ambient, chiller, and freezer, and Goods In PO and load counts. Loading metrics include total loads, pull-forward routes, and loads left at handover. Cross-dock and marshalling details track chilled arrivals, Apex and security ETAs, cages to marshal, and hydros to gas. Facility checks record MHE availability and VOR reports for LLOPs, PPTs, FLTs, and VNAs. Hygiene inspections span break areas, despatch, loading bays, charging, repack, dekit, staging areas, aisles across chill and freezer, and bay-specific photo prompts. A final section captures general comments and any required follow-up actions to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient turnover.
