How to Draft an SOP?

ERAU offers resources to support SOP development.

We can streamline efforts by learning from the past.

• Do not write an SOP for an individual process or action, it should be a part of the larger process.

• Disregard the first sentence if the material is so dangerous that it needs its own SOP created.

• If you are having trouble, stop and ask for assistance. The process can become frustrating.

• Be specific (what size container, slow/fast pour, what speed to mix at).

• Do not refer to other checklists if at all possible, multiple SOPs/checklists can cause errors/mistakes.

• Write the procedure in bullet checklist style.
