About this template
A single checklist for the start and the end of a trading day in a shop. It covers floors, aisles and exits, stock and ladders, deliveries, leads and power boards, first aid and the emergency plan, then cash, aggressive customers, lone closing and lock-up. Fire equipment and cash handling are marked as good practice because we found no section that sets them.

Is it compliant with Queensland law?
It's written around Queensland's Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Regulation 2011. Tailor it to your site, consult your workers and review it whenever conditions change; no template can guarantee compliance on its own.
What if it isn't right for my job?
If it doesn't match its description or has a fault, tell us and we'll fix it. If you're still not happy, we'll refund you or give you store credit, your choice. Check the sample pages first, as we don't refund a change of mind.
