    Engineers, planners and other technical writers use Simon to create one-time-use work instructions and recurring-use procedures. By using Simon, these experts can focus on the technical work scope and evaluating work site hazards rather than interpreting facility requirements and word processing. Simon products are tailored to incorporate the compliance requirements unique to your facility, right down to the Procedure Writers' Guide directives for format and style.

    Simon provides the user with a smart work instruction and/or procedure template, icon-activated macros and a variety of powerful yet easy-to-use tools to produce standardized work instructions. Job Hazard Analysis, M&TE, LO/TO criteria, PPE requirements, and pre-authorized hazard mitigating action steps are a few examples of what will be inserted into the work instruction automatically as the author uses point-and-click technology to define the work requirements. With the click of a button, Simon will incorporate the information required to perform the work safely and efficiently.

    Simon is…Enhancing Worker Safety.

    Simon 3.0 uses icons and dialogue boxes to guide work instruction authors in identifying the hazards and facility requirements that need to be incorporated into the fieldwork documents.

    Below is a simple demonstration of how it feels to use Simon. Many of the Simon icons shown will reveal information related to the macros activated by that icon. However, the macros will not run in this demonstration. Hence, no text, tables or related actions will be inserted during this demonstration.
