Workplace Retail Loss Prevention (LP) Posters

Retail Loss Prevention (commonly known as LP) is a fairly new profession in the security business that saw its rise with the booming of major retail shops nationwide and worldwide. Loss prevention agents (aka store detectives) interact and investigate on store staff and the public in cases of theft or other forms of larceny that cause direct or indirect store loss. With a little bit over 40% of theft by retail store employees and another 30% by the general public through shoplifting, LP is a solid profession that is here to stay.

Here are some safety and workplace loss prevention posters made by The Loss Prevention Academy that will help educate, intimidate or warn the teenage staff and public about retail theft. With a running price of around $5 to $10, those cheap posters are great in quality and even greater in price.

CAPTION

Paperwork errors contribute BIG time, it is all about the details
You can…
Work accurately per those guidelines and binders in the office. Confused about the correct way to do something? Ask, don’t guess. Anyone can guess.
Insure completed paperwork gets to the right place, completing it is only half the program. Every error counts and they add up quickly.

I will not do it again.
YOU steal from us? Consequences are usually more than staying after school. It usually results in…
Terminated…how you going to explain that one to your parents?
Jail time, as in locked up with no Facebook or Cell phone?
Probation, another set of parents?
Forgiveness, doubt your next employer will.

Some thoughts on missing merchandise

You can…
Provide excellent customer service to impact shoplifting
Watch for shoplifters. Focus on high values, attractive items and less about what they look like.
Keep it locked. Keep it locked. Keep it locked.
Avoid the temptation to steal here. Hate what happens when you get caught.
Retail is detail, OMG seriously? Yes, details make the difference.
Stay accurate my friend.

Shrink
Putting the puzzle together is not real complicated…
Keep display cases locked and don’t leave the keys laying around.
Insure those alarm things are working.
Shoplifters hate to be recognized, just say “hello” and “may I assist you in finding something?”
Think it is cool to steal like your friends? Don’t go through life being a follower.

Accidents are not real cool, here is what you can do….
You can…
See something on the floor?
Pick it up, it is too easy to act like you did not see it.
Use the proper safety tools, that is why we bought them.
If it looks too heavy to lift, ask for help, it is ok.
Knock it off, horseplay usually results in an injury.

Take SHOPLIFTING seriously!
Here is what you can do…
Provide excellent customer service, “How can I assist you today?”
Offer more customer service, did you find everything?
It messes up their comfort level to steal.
Keep watchful eyes on expensive, attractive, “got to have it” merchandise.
Cabinets and cases have locks on them for a reason, use them!
See something that was not right? Text your manager with the details.

Let’s CHAT about some safety rules…
Safety guards should never be disabled even if it is easier.
Spills need to be cleaned up quickly before someone gets hurt, now that was easy.
Lock out, tag out
100% of the time.
Skipping a safety rule usually results in an injury. Stay safe my friend.

Gotta have these things done everyday…
Scan every item and don’t miss any.
Keep the big cash out of the registers in case you are robbed so they get less. Call for a money pull.
Thinking about giving your BFF a discount on the price?
Will they still be your BFF when you are caught? Doubt it.
An employee that asks you to lower a price is not really a friend. Peer pressure can make you do dumb things sometimes.

What can YOU do if there is a robbery?
Stay calm, or at least pretend to.
Do what they ask, they just want the money and get out of there.
Be a good witness, Height, weight, tattoos, clothing etc.
Can’t think of a reason to be an action hero here. Comply with their results and they will leave quickly.

Some Safety Stuff posted on our wall

Avoid slips and falls by cleaning up messes. I know you did not do it, but please deal with it.

Protect your back, lift with your legs.

You usually get cut when you do not use the safety cutter.

Before you do it, ask yourself does this really make sense?

Is grabbing a prickly cactus a good idea?

HAVE YOUU WALKED your shortage highway today?

It is the…
Path through your highest shrink departments.
Place shoplifters tend to conceal merchandise.
Every day…
Walk the highway to and from your work area.
Make yourself visible.
Visibility deters theft!

Counterfeit MONEY

Counterfeit money(20s, 50s and 100s)
We need your help in looking for fake money…

By holding the bill to the light…
Can you see the watermark of the person to the right?
Can you see the security thread on the left?

Also…
Can you see the red and blue fibers in the paper?
Does the bill lack detail?

Cash controls start with…

• Watching for counterfeit money.
• Reducing the amount of cash in the till in case of robbery, call for a money pull.
• Keeping an eye out when the till is open to prevent a quick grab of cash.
• Counting the change back to the customer.
• Never loaning your superiors keys out.

Back injuries are a pain!

• Stretch before lifting, warm up!
• Lift with your legs, not your back.
• If it looks too heavy, ask for help.
• Use a mechanical truck if available.
• Put the pressure on your muscle, not your spine.

Use the Hotline Number when…

• You know an employee is stealing.
• You see inappropriate conduct.
• You would prefer not to be identified.
• But, you just had to do the right thing and call.

Forklifts can do real DAMAGE!

Are you trained and licensed?
Have you completed your daily checklist?
Do you know your surroundings when moving?
Are your forks down?
Do you know your load limit so you can avoid tipping?

Credit Card RULES

Follow the rules to insure we get paid…

Is the card expired?
Match the customers’ I.D. to the card.
Key in the verification code when prompted.
Miss a step and it costs us bucks.

Avoid Discount Abuse!

Your discount is not for everyone you know.

It is for yourself and IMMEADIATE family.

A friend that asks you to buy something for them… is not really a friend.

Losing your job over this does not make sense!

Got Shrink?
Shrink is merchandise that is missing from the store.

You can…

Keep and eye for shoplifters.
Offer customer service until they move on to another store.
Avoid friends pressuring you to steal and be part of “the clique.”
Will they stand next to you when you get caught?

Stay accurate with paperwork to prevent error. It is all about the details, or something like that.

If you know someone stealing, post it on their wall.

Forget that, let your manager know.

The Avengers Movie Posters – Upcoming 2012

With a whooping budget of around $152 million dollars and some, the upcoming movie – The Avengers by Joss Whedon has been creating a whole lot of media buzz recently while still in post-production. Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow get together as a team to repel an alien invasion… or was that total destruction of the earth by super strong aliens with near god abilities? Whatever the storyline turns out to be, it is still too early to tell.

I’ll let you enjoy the movie posters for now:

Marvel has just made public a brand new poster featuring the whole team. The whole band is shown together for the first time in a single picture. The movie is planned to be released on May 4, 2012.

7 Amazing Lightning Pictures

Not everyone can hang out in a storm and take lightning pictures. If you have ever been inside a thunderstorm, you will know. You need to have the heart for it. (You also need one of those quite expensive cameras). Here are some lightning photographs taken by amateurs and professionals from four corners of the planet. Most are from the capital of lightning (Florida) but not all.

Lightning is caused by positive and negative charge differences in a cloud. When this so-called “charge-difference” try to correct itself to become neutral again, a stunning show of light and electricity is displayed in the form of lightning and thunder. The sooner you hear a thunder roar after a flash, the closer the lightning-storm is. If you hear it in less than 5 seconds, you are in serious danger and need to find shelter immediately. Very little is know about lightning actually even if it hits the earth more than a billion times a year. We can only avoid it for our own safety.

The National Weather Service (NWS) releases safety measures and best practices during every peak season, normally during the summer season. You might want to check it out!

The blue clouds and the desert makes this one priceless. This would look awesome as a framed picture, in your bedroom or living room, don’t you agree?

A powerful bolt strikes the ground in some faraway mountain.

Looks like a thunderstorm is brewing over the city. The city lights give the lower atmosphere a reddish hue.

3 strikes at the same time. Who said lightning never falls at the same place twice, or in this case – thrice?

A thick vein of lightning falls into the sea.

Known as “crawler lightning”, they move horizontally for miles in the sky.

This photograph is so good it looks almost photoshoped but it is not. Multiples strikes at almost the same time.

From Scrap metal to Metal Art Sculptures

Many of you probably do not know who Tom Samui is. For 10 years now the Swiss artist and his team of about a dozen has been busy turning junk metal mostly from throwaway vehicles into pure art. They are highly polished and undergo a treatment that salvage them from rust. Almost every part is used. His work is breathtaking nonetheless as you can see:

This is one ninja you wouldn’t like to brawl with…

This metal fairy (elf) will sit elegantly in a garden, don’t you agree? The level of craftsmanship and detail is really amazing. Production time of such pieces is 2-3 months and we can see why. Simply amazing!

The only thing this dragon can do now is spit fire! The amount of work on this thing must be phenomenal.

By far my favorite. Look how majestic this deer looks…

Look at the size of this metal T-Rex. That’s an actual 8 meter long dinosaur! (notice the giant behind) According to the artist’s friend, the pieces can be broken down into smaller parts for easy transportation.

He also makes custom metal art as per a drawing or an idea. Very creative if you ask me! You can learn more here

Mother Teresa 100th Birthday Poster by Joseph Corrado – Come Be My Light

Many people do not know who Agnes Gonxha Bojaxiu is but on August 26 2010, she would have turned 100 years old. Agnes Gonxha Bojaxiu, more commonly known as Mother Teresa of Calcutta was a devout catholic, humanitarian and Nobel peace prize winner. Mother Teresa dedicated her whole life to caring after the poor and sick.

To commemorate her upcoming birthday, New Jersey artist Joseph Corrado designed the “Come Be My Light” poster under the patronage of Hoboken’s Gregory Dell’Aquila. This poster now appears in thousands of senior homes and orphanages across the country and hopefully, it will be on sale soon.
