Cannabis Operations
Opening and closing coverage is a role design problem: the right people must be present to perform checks, document exceptions, and transfer responsibility.
List the opening lead, closing lead, backup, required checks, access needs, and escalation contact. The opening handoff covers the start-of-day record. Use the daily closeout checklist to close the financial and operational loop.
Define what happens when a person is late, a system is unavailable, a count differs, or equipment fails. Record the exception and temporary control; do not treat an uncompleted check as complete.
Review coverage gaps after each schedule cycle. A recurring gap needs a staffing or process decision, not repeated informal favors.
The OSHA workplace safety guidance is an authoritative reference for general workplace controls.
Follow the operator’s separation-of-duties and safety requirements; document the approved coverage model.
