Standard operating practices

B. How Standard Operating Practice Must Change in 21st Century... 

Many major users of HPLC, particularly pharmaceutical companies working in an FDA regulated environment, will log every injection on a column through the column s lifetime and will have specific criteria (called Standard Operating Practices or SOPs) to indicate when a column should be retired. Many HPLC instruments also have bar code readers and the columns have corresponding bar codes to insure that documentation is correct. Major users will also maintain... 

There are of course many types of plant which process materials that are toxic, such as poisonous or radioactive substances, and corrosive fluids. Such types of plant invariably have a technology of their own, developed and proven to be adequate for the hazards involved, and any deviation from established plant designs or standard operating practices requires careful consideration, and possibly third-party or regulatory examination and approval. 

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.

For a heavy water research reactor, the D2O used as moderator-coolant may be stored in a closed storage tank following the standard operational practice. 

Make standard operation practice for reporting all incidents, subsequent investigations to determine their root causes, and appropriate corrective actions.

Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Standard Operating Procedures should include safety as a part of the standard operating practices which are delineated within it. Workers may not automatically understand a taskjust because they have experience or training. Thus, many jobs, tasks, and operations are best supported by an SOP. The SOP walks the worker through the steps of how to do a task or procedure in a safe manner and calls attention to the potential hazards at each step. 

Deepwater Horizon Although final reports on this event are not yet published, it appears as if the drilling crew bypassed standard operating practices. The various investigations that are under way will determine whether regulations and rules were bypassed. 

The resultant curve is an unlimited global benefit curve. Green chemistry and engineering is part of this resultant curve. It should become a standard operating practice, as it has been shown that sustainable business practices boost profits.
