High-Value and Secure Cage Controls

A written designation list names every high-value item and the criterion that put it there, approved by the named authority and communicated to the floor

The secure area is enclosed to the required standard with a single controlled door, and any known physical gap has an open corrective action

The secure area was found locked and unoccupied or locked and occupied by authorized handlers, never propped, blocked, or left open

The access list is current, approved, posted, reviewed on the stated cadence, and reconciled against the active roster with access removed on the day of any departure or role change

Every entry appears on the access log with time in, time out, all persons present, and purpose, and dual custody entries carry two signatures with no waived exceptions

High-value receipts were moved into the secure area the same shift and counted at item level by one handler and verified by a second

Picks and issues are recorded transaction by transaction at the time they are made, with a second-person verification of item and quantity and both names captured

Serial or unique identifiers are captured at receipt and again at issue for every item that carries them

No product left the secure area without a system transaction, and no informal borrow, sample, or unrecorded removal appears in the record

Reconciliation was performed on the stated cadence by two people, at least one of whom did not pick from the cage that shift, and every count result is recorded whether or not it matched

Every discrepancy was recounted by a different pair, escalated the same shift when it survived, and had access logs, transactions, and camera footage pulled before the retention window expired

High-value adjustments carry the named approval and the customer agreement where required, and every confirmed loss or repeat discrepancy has a corrective action on the control that failed
