SOP Redlining, Revision Control, and Training

Description

Audience: Construction owners, project managers, safety professionals, superintendents, and anyone responsible for maintaining procedures over time. Course Description: This advanced course focuses on what happens after an SOP is written—when reality changes. Participants learn how to properly redline procedures during active work, manage temporary vs permanent changes, prevent informal workarounds, and maintain document control without disrupting operations. The course bridges best practices from high-hazard industries into construction-appropriate systems that scale to organizations of any size. Key Topics: • What redlining is—and what it is not • Controlled redlining during work-in-process • Temporary vs permanent changes • Preventing undocumented field deviations • Revision approval and version control • Linking SOP changes to targeted training Outcome: Participants gain a repeatable, defensible process for keeping SOPs accurate, controlled, and aligned with how work is actually performed.
