What is an appropriate action when a refrigeration failure occurs?

The appropriate action when a refrigeration failure occurs is to notify the Asset Protection Field Manager (APFM) on duty. This ensures that the situation is addressed promptly, as refrigeration failures can lead to significant product loss and health risks associated with spoiled food items. By alerting the APFM, the issue can be assessed, and necessary actions can be taken to mitigate any damage and ensure the safety of the products stored in the refrigeration unit.

Immediate notification also allows for better coordination in managing the problem, potentially involving maintenance staff or other necessary personnel to rectify the situation quickly. Quick reporting is crucial to maintain product integrity and comply with health and safety regulations, making this the best course of action in the event of a refrigeration failure. Other options, such as ignoring the issue or increasing security checks, do not address the pressing concern of product safety and could lead to greater losses if left unreported.
