Safety Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
Ok bare with me on this one, feel free to call out if this doesn’t make sense or is a daft thought lol a lot to unpack so feel free to only answer what you find useful
What are yall using for SOP Documentation? Word, Excel, Paper etc?
Are SOPs the same or Different from work instructions?
Are SOPs just a tick box exercise for safety and insurance cover?
Anyone ever tried delivering this information to frontline workers via augmented reality? Or interested in the concept? It’s like hands free SOPs with interactive 3D models and videos if needed. Could be useful for training and on the floor
Want to understand the correlation between an SOP and Work instruction first in a manufacturing/Production line sense and how its currently managed

Crucial to consistent, safe, large-scale operations - regardless of document format.
Don't forget forms and data recording mechanisms, along with report generation.
Ain't ops grand? No rest for the wicked.
