Writing operational procedures for individual work areas is not only obligatory according to national regulations in some countries, but also makes many things easier. Operational procedures outline the hazards which are posed, the environment at the workplace, protective measures and rules of conduct that apply, and how people should act in the event of disturbances or accidents. Operational procedures additionaly provide information about maintenance and disposal and about what could happen if the guidelines are not observed.
Operational procedures should be formulated in clear and simple language and fit on one page. It is a good idea to note down procedures with the employees in question while walking through the work area. Doing this will most likely make the procedures clear and understandable.
This site provides you with an example of a written operational procedure which you can adopt directly for your operations.
In addition you will find the complete hazardous substance ordinance next to this page, provided by the German Federal Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (BAuA -Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin). For additional suggestions, examples and auxiliary material please see Appendix 4 of BGR 190 (formerly ZH 1/701 "Guidelines for the Use of Respiratory Protective Devices"). |
