When should a delivery be inspected?

Deliveries should be inspected as soon as they arrive, so make sure to schedule deliveries when staff has the time to inspect them. If possible, designate specific staff members to conduct inspections, and be sure they and other staff know what to look for, how to return items, etc. Be prepared for expected deliveries by having space prepared for the new items, and the needed tools on hand - like dollies, thermometers, etc.
