Practical Ways to Pass Walmart's Factory Inspection

Practical Ways to Pass Walmart's Factory Inspection

The name of Walmart's social responsibility factory inspection is a bit difficult to pronounce, and most manufacturers call it Walmart's human rights factory inspection. Human rights factory inspection mainly checks human rights, the factory's protection and responsibility for workers, and its responsibility for the environment. It mainly prohibits the use of child labor, opposes discrimination and oppression of workers, prohibits the use of prison labor, and the payment of wages and working hours must meet the requirements of the International Labor Organization and China's labor laws and regulations. Requirements in health, safety, fire protection, etc., ensure that the workers' working environment is conducive to escape and does not harm their health. Environmental requirements are being evaluated in the factory inspection. Let's take a look at how we should deal with these aspects.
In terms of child labor, Walmart prohibits the use of child labor. If 1-2 children are used, it will be a red light. So there is no way to make up for this. The auditor will check this situation through face-to-face interviews and employee turnover within 6 months. So if you want to apply for a Walmart audit, please apply after 6 months of not using child labor.
Walmart factory audits oppose discrimination against workers. Employees cannot be isolated because of skin color, race, or beliefs. Factories need to treat every employee equally. We hope that all manufacturers will not lose sight of the big picture. Factory auditors will conduct face-to-face interviews with employees to understand the situation.
Walmart factory audits require that factories do not use forced labor, and all labor is voluntary. As above, Walmart auditors will get to know the factory through face-to-face chats. Of course, they will also pay attention when they inspect the factory.
In terms of working hours and wages, Walmart requires factories to pay each employee no less than the minimum wage issued by the local government. In addition, Walmart requires the 7th day off principle. This audit will require manufacturers to provide documents on the local government's minimum wage and working hours.
Walmart has three requirements for the working environment: health, safety, and fire protection. Manufacturers need to check in their own factories whether exhaust fans, fire sprinklers, and fire extinguishers are properly installed and placed according to the requirements of Walmart's manual. At the same time, the factory auditor will ask the factory to present the environmental testing report, factory schematic diagram, fire safety drill report, and check whether there are obvious safe escape signs in the factory at the initial meeting.
