Developing Standard Operating Procedures

Workers Reviewing Sops

Overview

Developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is critical for ensuring worker safety, particularly in industries where heightened risks are present. At Health & Safety Professionals Inc. (HSPI), we understand that each organization faces unique challenges, especially in high-risk sectors like healthcare, mining, and construction. That’s why we focus on creating personalized SOPs, to the needs of your organization, ensuring compliance while promoting safety. Guided by our core values of authenticity, compassion, and advocacy, we partner with you to design and implement SOPs that not only meet regulatory standards but also foster a safer, more efficient workplace.

What We Do

HSPI’s knowledgeable staff have extensive experience in technical writing and procedure development. When developing an SOP, we meet with your workers to understand the equipment they work with, how it is used, and the unique circumstances of your operations. Using information from your workers and from the manufacturer of the equipment, we develop simple-to-understand procedures that all staff can use. We then review the SOP with your workers to make sure that it fits with the way that you do your work.

How We Support You

Standard Operating Procedure Development is a complex and technical process. Our consultants make that process simple.

When engaging HSPI to develop SOPs for your business, our health and safety consultants and technical writers will:

  • Meet with staff to understand what equipment they use in their work and how they use it

  • Gather technical manuals or contact suppliers to retrieve copies of manuals

  • Develop operating procedures for the safe use of equipment at all stages of your work process

  • Collaborate with your operators to ensure the SOP aligns with how you use the equipment in your workplace

  • Design inspection and repair forms or records to streamline your preventative maintenance process

  • Outline minimum SOP training requirements for workers operating equipment

  • Integrate inspection and maintenance requirements with your existing health and safety program

Our goal is to ensure that your workers are using your equipment safely and effectively. We don’t simply write an SOP and leave it with your staff. After the SOP is drafted, our consultants will meet with your staff to ensure that the SOP is correct for your operation.
