Tips and Tricks

QuestionsTips and Tricks

  1. Does the store have documentation of the campus' procedure in the event of an emergency? Off campus sites should have their own procedures.

  • Ensure a copy of the campus emergency procedures is available in the store for all team members. This should be a document a team member can easily and quickly put their hands on.

  1. Are all managers/keyholders required for the campus emergency notification system (as allowed by the campus)?

  • Ensure all members of store management and keyholders are registered for the campus emergency notification system.

  • Confirm their registration; do not assume.

  1. Is the emergency contact list updated and posted?

  • Emergency contact list: This document should be posted in the store and does require updates. Review the document to ensure it is current.

  1. Are all fire exits unobstructed and properly signed?

  • Fire exits must be clear on both sides of the door. In the event of an emergency evacuation, you must be able to have an unobstructed exit from the store.

  1. Have all members of management or key holders been trained on Emergency Action Plan procedures?

  • Provide emergency procedure training to all team members.

  • If asked, do team members know what to do in the event of a fire, tornado, or active shooter?

  1. Is store management aware of the documentation which should be completed in the event of any customer/team member related accident?

  • Accident Documentation: Are documents readily available to be completed in the event of a customer or team member accident?

  • Print these documents and have a set ready for use.

  1. Were there zero unsafe conditions found in the store during the audit?

  • Walk the store for potentially unsafe conditions. Is your store safe for customers to shop and team members to work? For example, no tripping hazards, no blocked exits, nothing that would fall and hit a person.

  1. Has the store completed the required safety audits and corrected deficiencies?

  • Depending on your location and time of year, you may be required to complete ongoing specific safety audits. Have these all been completed for your location?
