Safety, Compliance & Housekeeping

• Maintain a clean, tidy, and safe workstation and shopping area in accordance with Dis-Chem housekeeping standards.

• Handle all merchandise with care to prevent breakage, loss, or store shrinkage.

• Report suspicious customer or staff behavior to store management to reduce fraud and theft risks.

• Comply with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) rules, company policies, and the official Dis-Chem uniform and appearance code.
