Access

Procedures should be easily accessible to all workers who may need to utilize them.

To do so, the procedures should be highly visible by the workers and clearly labeled so that the workers can quickly determine the procedure that corresponds to the task to be undertaken.

If the procedure is in paper format, sufficient copies of the procedure should be available such that all workers who may be working on a task at any given time have their own copy.

If the procedure is in electronic format, workers should be given instant access to any procedure that may be necessary through a user-friendly online portal (Haeck, 2019).
