Control of Work Checklist for Manufacturing: Plan, Assess and Manage Risk

Control of Work (CoW) has evolved from a paper-driven, manual process to one that embraces a fully digital control of work, incorporates “smart” personal protective equipment and connected gas detection and sampling solutions and smoothly integrates with other processes, such as asset management.

Control of Work Checklist for Manufacturing: Plan, Assess and Manage Risk

CoW an integral part of managing work activities at manufacturing facilities that have inherently higher risks. Some maintenance activities, production process changes and repair operations require additional risk management measures that involve control of work. Checklists like this one can help ensure that:

  • Work practices manage risk and protect workers
  • Standard work is documented and followed
  • Responsibilities are defined
  • Employees are trained in proper procedures
  • Production timelines stay on schedule
