An organization must often develop written procedures to provide instructions for specific activities, and to ensure they are clear to everyone involved and followed in a consistent, repeatable manner.

Region 7 has developed a number of EMS operating procedures (OPs) to instruct our employees on how to complete and maintain the various components of our EMS. These OPs, some of which are Joint EMS - Safety & Health Management Systems (SHEMS) procedures are available on the Web pages that discuss each EMS component, and are also available below.
