Cannabis Facility Inspection Checklist (California DCC)
Every document a DCC inspector can ask for at a cannabis facility, sorted by license type, with the citation, retention period and what the inspector checks.
What’s in It
Run Your Own Mock Facility Inspection
Print it, tab it and file it. Then walk your premises the way the inspector will, before the inspector does.
Part A for Every Licensee
The records every DCC inspection opens with: license, premises diagram, security, METRC inventory and business records.
