or function within the entire production process. The closer to the end user a function
is, the further downstream it is. Obtaining raw materials are elements considered to
be upstream.
Workplace procedures refer to approved procedures used by the organisation
carrying out the work and applicable to the tasks being carried out, such as standard
operating procedures, site safety procedures, equipment operating procedures,
codes of practice, quality assurance procedures, housekeeping standards, and
procedures to comply with legislative and local body requirements.
