4.2.1

Issuing Operator Orders

The cognizant manager is responsible for issuing operator orders to personnel.

Orders should be issued as necessary and updated on a daily basis. The orders

should be issued as either daily orders or long-term orders. Daily orders

contain information such as the announcement of a procedure change or

direction for a non-routine process. They usually contain action items which

will take place: on the remaining portion of the day, the following day, or

weekends and holidays. Daily orders may be renewed by the cognizant

manager when necessary. Long-term orders contain information such as a

time-line of work activities during a maintenance period. When long-term

orders are issued, a notice should be placed in the daily orders.
