# Daily Shift Handover Template

Use this template for a daily handover routine — it separates new items from carried-forward issues so nothing quietly ages out of view.

## Template fields

- **Date:** 2026-07-12
- **Shift:** Morning (06:00–14:00)
- **Outgoing staff:** K. Osei
- **Incoming staff:** L. Fernandez
- **Carried-forward open items:** Day 3: HVAC repair still pending vendor visit
- **New items today:** Spill in loading dock, cleaned, flagged for re-inspection
- **Priority flags:** Client walkthrough scheduled 09:00 tomorrow — prep needed
- **Acknowledgment:** Incoming staff confirms receipt before outgoing staff leaves

## How to use it

- Carry open items forward every day until resolved — don't restart the list.
- Timestamp each entry with the day it was first raised.
- Review yesterday's carried-forward items before writing today's.

## Shift-close question

Is there anything on this list that's been "carried forward" for more than three days without an update?
