Tips
Procedures (commonly called Safe Work Procedures or SWP's) are your farm rules around how a machine should be operated or task undertaken. Procedures can be created for individual machines, tools, tasks, etc or for groups of machines - eg. one SWP for all tractors.
As you add inventory items in Step 4 then create procedures that relate to them. Start by focusing on procedures for your machines or tasks with the greatest risk of causing injury.
