In RakuOps, a check answered No, a reading outside its limits, or a photo that does not match your best store's opens a fix for that store, with an owner and a due date.

Why chains run this check

Safety problems build up slowly: a fire exit used as storage, a frayed cable, an empty first aid kit. Nobody notices until someone gets hurt or an inspector arrives.

A weekly walk with the same checks at every store catches them early, and the record shows you looked.

How it runs at every store

  1. One standard. Send this checklist to every store, on a schedule, to whoever is on shift.
  2. Evidence back. Photos, readings and answers come back from the phone, timestamped and named.
  3. Problems become fixes. Anything that fails opens a fix for that store, due in hours, not at the next visit.
  4. Best against worst. The scorecard ranks your stores on it and shows which check the worst store misses.

Frequently asked questions

Is this template free?

Yes. Print it, save it as a PDF, or tick it off on this page. To run it at every store, with photos, readings that open a fix when they are out of range, and a scorecard that ranks your stores, use it in RakuOps. The free plan covers one store, with unlimited users.

How often should a store do a health and safety walk?

Weekly suits most stores, with fire alarm tests on the same day. Busy stores or stores with kitchens may add a short daily check of exits and floors.

Why record near misses?

Near misses are the warning before an accident. A store reporting none for months is usually not looking, rather than perfectly safe.
