We do much the same as AndyN but before a document is approved it is assessed by all of our crews (4 shifts). The chnages are then haded to a Senior Supervisor in that area and they collate the changes and discuss them with the relevant shifts. The changed document is then sent up the line for final approval and implementation. An electronic 'transmittal notice' is sent out alerting all concerned parties to the changed document. If training is necessary the shift supervisors take responsibility for this. The new document is then added to the area for review during the next scheduled audit. Here is our 'Continuous Improvement Suggestion' form and Process. Note: It is used for ANY suggested change in the workplace not just documents.
We also have a similar system to allow short term changes to system or process usually during trials. This allows us to deviate from the norm for a given period of time. Here is the Form and the Process
Note: The response Manager in each incident is a person designated by the manger to evaluate or review a process or suggested change. They may have to cost it or prove it's viability before reporting back to the assigning manager.
