Site Operating Plan (SOP) Benefits

Businesses that utilize a site operating plan (SOP) are better prepared to achieve company objectives and overcome obstacles.  This includes ensuring that a work environment is efficiently run, better able to handle risks, operates within a budget, and is, above all, safe.  An SOP manual is a comprehensive operating and maintenance (O&M) manual specific to each facility.

Overview of the SOP

Our primary focus when assessing any new site is safety.  Therefore, that is what we start with when we begin a site operating plan for a client.  In our assessment, we include different safety measures such as varying safety procedures, failure response plans, failure response times, and equipment limitations.  Then, we move on to operating measures of the business to build on operating procedures, switching steps, as well as startup and shutdown procedures.  Next, systems are assessed with different descriptions concerning equipment design and training materials.  Lastly, to ensure things continue to run smoothly for the facilities, maintenance measures are considered which include maintenance procedures and inspections of facilities/materials.
