Frequently asked questions

How do I identify all the hazards to list?

Conduct a thorough job safety analysis by observing the task being performed, interviewing experienced workers, and reviewing incident reports. Consider environmental, mechanical, chemical, ergonomic, and procedural hazards. Evaluate both routine operations and potential emergency scenarios to create a comprehensive hazard inventory.

What’s the difference between this work instruction template and a standard operating procedure?

This work instruction template provides specific, task-level guidance with integrated safety elements, while SOPs typically cover broader processes and policies. Work instructions detail exactly how to perform individual tasks, whereas SOPs establish the framework within which those tasks should be performed. This template bridges both needs.

How can I measure if my work instructions are effective?

Track key performance indicators related to the task, such as error rates, completion time, safety incidents, and quality metrics before and after implementation. You can also gather user feedback on clarity and usefulness. Look out for how often instructions need clarification or lead to questions.
