READ-DO checklist: what it is and what it means

The READ-DO checklist is the sequential guidance format for people who do not yet know the process. The operator reads the item and then carries out the action, one at a time: the required flow is read, do, check off, read the next one. It teaches the sequence: it does not assume knowledge of the process, ensuring that no step is skipped even without established experience.
