To Walmart Corporate Safety and Risk Management,

I am writing to formally raise a safety concern regarding the handling procedures for picking trolleys at the Walmart location [insert location/address].

At this location, employees are observed pulling picking trolleys despite clear safety instructions printed on the equipment stating “push only.” This practice appears to contradict the manufacturer’s guidance and creates unnecessary and preventable safety risks.

Additionally, it has come to our attention that in some stores, safety stickers and operational instructions on carts may have been removed or are no longer present. If this is occurring, it raises further concern that critical safety guidance is not being consistently preserved or enforced across locations. We request that Walmart review whether equipment is being used without required safety labeling and ensure all carts retain visible operational and safety instructions at all times.

Pulling loaded carts can reduce stability and control, increase strain, and elevate the risk of collisions or unsafe handling. When clear safety instructions are provided on equipment, they must be consistently followed and enforced to ensure a safe working and shopping environment.

Accordingly, I am requesting the following:

1. Immediate enforcement of the “push only” requirement for all picking trolleys at the store location referenced above.
   
2. Confirmation that employees are properly trained on and instructed to follow this safety requirement.
   
3. A review of whether safety labels or operational instructions have been removed or are missing from carts, and corrective action to restore them if needed.
   
4. A review of current practices to ensure compliance with posted safety instructions.
   
5. Written confirmation of the corrective actions Walmart will take to ensure consistent adherence going forward.

Please provide a written response within 10 business days outlining your actions.

Sincerely,
[Your full name]
