• Spill source identified and controlled
  If a spill or leak is present, confirm the source has been identified and stopped or isolated where possible.
• Affected area isolated from customers and traffic
  Confirm the hazard area is blocked off or rerouted so customers and staff cannot walk through it.

Spill Response and Cleanup

  Place visible warning equipment at the spill or wet area before and during cleanup.
• Cleanup completed with appropriate mop or absorbent materials
  Confirm the spill was cleaned using the correct tools and materials for the surface and liquid type.
• Floor left dry or safe for foot traffic
  Verify the floor is dry or has been reduced to a safe condition before reopening the area.

Customer Notification and Traffic Control

• Customers visibly warned about the hazard
  Confirm staff verbally warned nearby customers or used clear signage to notify them of the wet floor hazard.
• Safe alternate path available when needed
  If the hazard blocks a normal route, confirm an alternate safe path is available and clearly indicated.
• Hazard monitored until fully resolved
  Confirm the area remains under observation until the floor is dry and the hazard is removed.

Closeout and Corrective Actions

• Corrective actions documented for any failure or deficiency
  Record what was corrected, who completed the correction, and any follow-up needed.
• Repeat hazard or recurring leak reported to supervisor
  Escalate recurring wet floor conditions, leaks, or equipment issues to the supervisor or maintenance team.
