Course Description
The development and use of effective and user-friendly
Operating and Maintenance procedures in process facilities is essential for safe
and efficient operations. Written procedures are also a requirement of OSHA's
Process Safety Management Standard, CFR 1910.119. Procedures can have as much
impact on process safety as the process equipment. It should also be noted that
the Procedures Element of the Process Safety Management Standard is one of the
most frequently cited elements by OSHA year-after-year.
Many companies assume their employees can write procedures
simply by documenting what they do. However, this approach often produces
ineffective procedures.
There are much better approaches that can be used to write procedures
that do not require any more work than the traditional "write what you
do" approach. These new methods produce procedures that are much more
effective and usable.
This course moves beyond the fundamentals of writing
effective procedures covered in the course "Principles of Procedure
Writing" and covers more advanced issues in designing and developing
procedures. The role of a management system for procedures is explained ranging
over procedure design, development, implementation, maintenance and control. You
will learn how to decide when procedures are needed. You will also learn how to
design procedures to ensure their usability. Guidelines are provided on various
matters such as the appropriate use of language, numerical information,
graphics, lists and tables. The writing of special types of procedural steps
such as non- sequential, continuous and time-dependent is explained. Guidelines
for drafting, evaluating and validating procedures are also covered. Procedure
maintenance, control and training are explained. The course concludes with the
presentation of guidelines for preparing several specific types of procedures
including standard operating procedures, safe work practices, emergency
operating procedures, and maintenance procedures. Throughout the course,
examples are used to illustrate the guidelines presented.
A course manual is provided. In addition to the course
presentation slides, it includes resource materials to assist in designing and
developing new procedures and reviewing and modifying existing procedures.
Objective
To learn how to design and develop
effective and usable operating, maintenance and other procedures for use in any
situation. This includes the improvement of existing procedures.
Target Audience
Operations and Maintenance Personnel,
Process Engineers, Process Safety Personnel and others who are responsible for
the design and development of procedures.
Prerequisite
Attendance at Primatech training course
"Principles of Procedure Writing" or equivalent. Experience in Process
Operations, Maintenance, or Process Safety is desirable.
