ABSTRACT
A Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) or Standard Operating Procedure should include safety and health as a part of the standard operating practices delineated within it. The SOP is a set of written instructions that documents a routine or repetitive activity followed by an organization. The development and use of SOPs are an integral part of a successful quality system as it provides workers with information to perform a job properly and safely while facilitating consistency in the quality and integrity of a product or end result.
