Any change to a Procedure will require the Administrator to decide if it was a minor or a major change.

Minor changes to a Procedure will not need to be reapproved and users who have already accepted the Procedure will not be required to reread and accept the Procedure. When a minor change has occurred, the version number of the Procedure will increase by 0.0001.

A Major change will require the Procedure to be reapproved and users will have to reread and accept the updated Procedure. When a major change has occurred, the version number of the Procedure will increase by 1.0 to the next whole number. Any previous version numbers due to minor changes will be returned to zero.

	Note
	The version number will not increase while a Procedure is in the New status.

For example, a Safety Officer makes to minor changes to an existing Procedure numbered version 1. Each minor change adds 0.0001 to the version. After the 2 minor changes the version number of the Procedure has become 1.0002. When the first major change is made, the version will become 2.0. If another major change is made then it will become version 3.0.
