Program Introduction:

 This course presents a comprehensive overview of process writing that the binding regulations require.  There’s a tenet among regulatory bodies: “If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen,” and while the regulations tell companies what they need to do and document, they don’t tell them how.  Determining how systems work and how processes occur and documenting them is up to companies to assess.  This course presents process writing within the “big picture” of controlled documentation and gives industry standards for delivering information.  Effectively prepared process documents keep companies on track and compliant.  Participants will learn how to write documents that ensure consistency in safety  A workshop in process writing gives participants the opportunity to actually write about a process and then assess the results
