From one procedure to a full documentation system
I write it from watching the job, and your people sign it off. Manufacturers, warehouses, carriers and construction crews; on site within a day’s drive of North Little Rock, remote anywhere else.
The three reasons people call
An audit is coming. OSHA wants written, machine-specific lockout/tagout procedures (that’s 1910.147, and “see the manual” doesn’t satisfy it). ISO 9001 wants your documented information current and controlled. A customer or insurer wants to see the procedure, not hear about it. I write the procedures the auditor asks for; your safety or quality lead owns the program.
The person who knows the line is leaving. Retirement, promotion, a competitor’s offer. Everything he knows that isn’t written down leaves with him. This is the job to start the week you hear the date.
New hires take too long, or keep making the same mistake. A work instruction per station, a one-page training sheet, and a sign-off so you know who’s been checked out on what. Warehouse, packaging line, fab shop, construction crew: same problem, same fix.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
I write the procedures your people actually use. The ones taped inside the panel door, not the ones in the binder. Written from watching the job, in the order it’s actually done, in your template and numbering if you have one.
Training & Instructional Materials
I write the training material a new hire can work from on day one, so nobody has to shadow somebody for two weeks. A work instruction per station, a one-page training sheet, and a sign-off so you know who’s been checked out on what.
Workflow & Process Documentation
I map the process as it actually runs, find where the paperwork and the floor disagree, and write the version people can follow. The gaps usually turn out to be the steps everyone knows and nobody wrote down.
Safety & Compliance Documentation
Machine-specific lockout/tagout procedures, safety programs and the written records an OSHA inspector or an ISO 9001 auditor asks for. I write the documents; your safety or quality lead owns the program.
Complete Documentation Systems
For an operation that needs the whole thing: organizing what exists, writing what’s missing, and setting up document control, revision history and sign-off so it stays current after I leave. Scoped after I’ve seen the operation, with a fixed number in writing before I start.
