TE1118 - Writing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

Course Description

There’s a belief among regulatory bodies: “If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen,” and while the regulations tell companies what they need to do and document, they don’t tell them how. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are often used as training tools, which means that they need to be easily understood by all those whom they affect. Effective SOPs are not only a regulatory requirement; they also make good business sense. Often, employees fail to follow SOPs because they can’t understand them, and often, procedures are being constantly revised. This leads to lengthy and expensive investigations and costly revisions.
