Workplace Health & Safety
Why Are Safe Operating Procedures So Important?SOPs could be the difference between completing a job safely and a disastrous accident!
Think of a Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) as the manual for any task or piece of machinery in your business
SOPs are an integral part of your Work Health and Safety obligations. While you may assume that everyone knows how to operate the machinery at your business or complete a task safely, it’s not always the case.
An SOP tells an employee how to safely carry out a task way in a way that ensures that they won’t hurt themselves or anyone around them. It’s a detailed set of instructions that shows them how to operate a piece of machinery or complete a task, step by step.
SOPs should be a significant part of your WHS initiative. SOPs need to be kept up-to-date, located so that employees can easily access them, and in some cases, kept on machinery.
Writing and maintaining SOPs is highly time-consuming. They could be as simple as how to turn a machine on or off or a detailed list of steps detailing all aspects of a project. If your SOPs aren’t up to scratch, then perhaps it’s time you invested in new and up-to-date SOPs for your business? Assurance HR is here to help!
