Most of them are found online; many aren’t written by the original authors. Anyway, since they can be used to claim credit and receive rewards, why not do it?

Shouldn’t it be prepared based on the actual situation of one’s own company? ?

Requirement No. 8 of the \"Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Safety Management in Chemical Processes\" (An Jian Zong Guan San [2013] No. 88): 1. The content of operating procedures shall include at least the operational steps and safety requirements for startup, normal operation, temporary operations, emergency operations, normal shutdown, and emergency shutdown； The normal control range of process parameters, the consequences of deviating from normal operating conditions, and the methods and steps for preventing and correcting such deviations ； Safety measures for the personnel carrying out the operations, as well as precautions regarding occupational health, etc. 2. The operating procedures should promptly reflect any changes in safety production information, safety requirements, and precautions. Enterprises must verify the suitability and effectiveness of their operating procedures on an annual basis, and review and revise these procedures at least every 3 years ； When there are significant changes in process technology or equipment, the operating procedures should be reviewed and revised promptly. 3. Enterprises must ensure that the latest version of the operating procedures is always available at the work site, so that on-site operators can refer to it at any time ； Regularly conduct training and assessments on operating procedures, and maintain records of training and assessment results ； Employees are encouraged to share their experience in safe operations, and to participate in the development, revision, and review of operating procedures.

Other media-related discussions ======================= The hydrogenation process is one of the 18 major hazardous chemical processes, and it falls under the category of processes that are subject to stringent supervision as part of the \"two key areas and one major priority\". There are many hydrogenation processes, such as the hydrogenation of unsaturated alkynes and olefins’ triple and double bonds, aromatic hydrocarbon hydrogenation, oxidation compound hydrogenation, nitrogen-containing compound hydrogenation, and oil hydrogenation. The hydrogenation process at CNOOC Zhongjie Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is likely to be oil hydrogenation, which constitutes a highly hazardous process; it requires high standards in terms of equipment and facilities, and its operation is more complex than that of ordinary processes, with higher precision requirements. But anyway, the operating procedures for the hydrogenation process are 700 pages long and amount to an almost \"encyclopedia\"; this at least shows that these procedures do not capture the key points, and they are not well-structured – they are neither concise nor clear. It is clear that such procedures can be **compressed to make them simpler and clearer, so that the employees on the job are willing to read them, understand them, and be able to follow them.

When preparing operating procedures, experienced operators and relevant technical personnel (in safety, production, mechanical and electrical fields) should be involved. It is essential to take into account the actual conditions of the organization in order for such procedures to be effectively applicable in practice.

I believe that when drafting such procedures, it is first necessary to use the equipment’s user manual as a basis and then improve it appropriately. There are quite a few technicians who, in an attempt to demonstrate their skills, copy and paste everything related to the subject of \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\" that they can find. What’s left is the endless task of creating question banks, conducting assessments, and so on. Learning the basic knowledge is one thing, but it’s incorrect to confuse it with procedures. Hehe, back in the day I really hated such people; P actually their on-site performance wasn’t the best either, :)

Operating procedures should generally be prepared by senior experts and experienced employees within the organization, and examinations on the knowledge required for each position should be organized; formalism should not be allowed.

Hehe, back in the day I really hated such people; actually, their on-site performance wasn’t the best either. =========================================== Is it necessary to conduct drills for the standard operating procedures? ? ? ?

Which department should be responsible for compiling this? ? ?
