Learning Objectives:
• To explain the link between designated safe operational parameters and safety related operational procedures
• To understand the meaning of safety critical task
• To be able to explain how information should be organised and presented in an operational procedure
Key Points to cover:
• Purpose: To provide information and direction tp operators, maintenance staff and contractors on how to operate and maintain the plant / processes safely and within designated safety margins. To provide information and instructions on how to deal with abnormal conditions / events and to recover.
• Learning Points:
o Operating procedure must be written for the user & in format and language style which can be readily understood
o Operating procedure in place for safety critical tasks
o Procedures must cover:
What
Why
Where
When
Who
How
o Procedures are best developed with those who have to work using them
o Procedures should focus on human factors and provide only essential information, for task have a simple sequence of how work is to be done, use diagrammes and illustrations to aid understanding
o Procedures should always match the way the work is actually done
o Long / complex procedures should be supplemented with job-aids or short guides
o Only one (correct version) of procedure available
o Regular reviews and updates
