What this sheet is for
Give the incoming shift the state of the floor in writing, so a half-picked order or a pallet in quarantine is not rediscovered two hours in.
Who it is for
Shift leads, team leaders and supervisors in a warehouse, depot or distribution centre that runs more than one shift.
How to use it
- Fill in the site, the two shifts and the two names before the outgoing lead leaves the floor.
- List every order, load or job still open, and any stock not in its normal home — quarantine, returns, damaged, awaiting putaway — with what happens next and who.
- Tick the equipment, site and people checks, and note anything not right.
- Both leads sign, and the sheet stays on the floor until the next handover.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: What the outgoing shift leaves the incoming one — the work still open, the stock that is not where it should be, the kit that is down, and the two names that agree it.
For the person who was not here. Write it for someone who was not here. 'The usual' or 'see Dave' tells the next shift nothing at three in the morning. If it is not on this sheet, the incoming shift is entitled to assume it is not happening.
Write-on lines: Site / warehouse · Date · Shift ending · Shift starting · Handing over · Taking over
Left open at handover — orders, loads and jobs not finished; stock in quarantine, returns, damaged or awaiting putaway
Table, 7 rows: Order, load, job or part · Qty · Status / where it is now · Next action needed · Who · By when
Equipment, site and people — tick what was checked; note anything not right
- MHE charged or fuelled; faults tagged, ref noted
- Scanners, radios, keys and fobs handed over
- Doors, shutters and gates as next shift needs
- Incidents, near misses, spills logged (ref)
- Drivers, visitors, contractors still on site
- Bookings for the next shift passed on
Signature strip: Signed — handing over · Signed — taking over · Time
Questions
Why two signatures?
Because a handover is an agreement, not a note. The outgoing lead is saying this is everything; the incoming lead is saying they have read it. If something turns up later that was not on the sheet, the two names tell you where the conversation starts.
What if nothing is outstanding?
Write 'nothing open' in the table and sign it anyway. A blank sheet could mean a quiet shift or a handover that never happened, and the next person cannot tell which.
