Frequently asked questions about work instructions
What exactly is a work instruction?
A work instruction describes, step by step, how a task should be carried out.
The aim is safe working, consistent quality and everyone doing the job the same way, including the agency worker who is there for the first time today.
What is the difference between a procedure and a work instruction?
A procedure describes the process at a high level: what needs to happen, why, and who is responsible.
A work instruction goes one level deeper and describes the task itself, in the order it is done.
How do you write a good, clear work instruction?
Keep it short, visual and ready to use. A wall of text does not work on site.
Use photos of your own machines and short videos, and finish with a question so you know it has been understood.
Why switch from paper to digital work instructions?
Paper binders get lost, dirty and unreadable, and version control is a nightmare: you never know for sure whether someone is still working from the old version.
With digital instructions, you do know.
How do you share instructions with workers who have no laptop?
Your people in manufacturing, construction or logistics have no laptop and no company email address, and reaching them is exactly the problem.
What they do have is WhatsApp, and that is where the instruction arrives.
What if an instruction or safety rule changes?
If a machine setting or a safety rule changes, everyone needs to know the same day.
Instead of putting up new notices and hoping they are read, you send the update and see exactly who has seen it.
How do you handle work instructions for workers who speak another language?
That is not a detail; it is the heart of the matter: anyone who does not understand an instruction cannot carry it out correctly.
E-lia translates automatically, so your Polish or Romanian colleagues read the instruction in the language they think in.
