5.1.1

Are procedures developed in a structured manner, based on functional analysis and task analysis?

The structured approach should consist of the following steps:

  1. Identify core tasks, identify hazards and working environment issues and identify supporting tasks related to these.
  2. Plan the sequence of the core tasks and supporting tasks.
  3. Perform a hierarchic breakdown of the tasks.
  4. Perform tabular task analysis of critical and difficult task steps. This should include human-machine interaction and possible erroneous actions.
  5. Perform structured walk trough of the procedures/ work descriptions.
