Overview

Procedures are an important tool in managing safety critical tasks and in demonstrating how human factors are integrated into operations at high hazard establishments. Procedures are also a vital a vital component of the wider work system and can be used for a number of safety management system processes if they are carefully developed and presented.

This presentation will guide attendees through the procedure lifecycle, from identifying when a procedure is needed through to development, use and review. Recognising that the operator is central to successful risk management, the presentation will highlight why, and how, a user-centered approach to procedure development and implementation can contribute to improved safety performance and culture.
