EASY What is the purpose of sign-offs at the end of each action step in some procedures?
To keep track of the sequence of steps
What is unique about the sign-offs in Figure 9?
They require the operator's initials
What is a common method of keeping sequence in procedures?
Using a numbering system
What is the Circle/Slash Method used for?
To keep track of the sequence of steps
How does the Highlight and Cross Out method work?
Highlight the step about to be performed and cross out the entire step once completed

To identify the person responsible for completing the activity
What is a limitation of using a numbering system to keep sequence in procedures?
It is not always used in conjunction with sign-offs
What is the key difference between the Circle/Slash Method and the Highlight and Cross Out method?
The order in which steps are marked
Why are tools like the Circle/Slash Method and Highlight and Cross Out method necessary in procedures?
To help operators keep track of their place in the sequence
What is the primary benefit of using a consistent method for keeping track of sequence in a procedure?
It reduces errors due to confusion about the sequence
What is a common characteristic of procedures that use sign-offs?
They require operators to initial each completed step
Study Notes
Procedure Sign-Offs
- Some procedures have sign-offs at the end of each action step, which operators check to indicate that the activity has been completed.
- This helps operators keep track of where they are in the sequence.
Sign-Off Methods
- Some procedures require operators to place their initials at the end of each completed step, identifying the person who completed each activity.
- Not all procedures have formal sign-offs.
Place Keeping Methods
- Circle/Slash Method: operators circle the current step and add a slash through the circle when completed.
- Highlight and Cross Out: operators highlight the step about to be performed and cross out the entire step once completed.
