Standard Operating Procedure Resources

Standard operating procedures (SOP’s) are written, instructions that describe how to perform an activity. Standard operating procedures help maintain safety and efficiency. A standard operating procedure should never be difficult to read or vaguely worded. It should be brief, easy to understand and contain actions and/or steps that are simple follow. A good standard operating procedure should clearly outline the steps and inform the user of any safety concerns.

The standard operating procedures should be the basis for training any new employees. SOP’s should be updated annually to ensure they remain relevant to the current needs.
