What type of information does a 'Note' provide in operating procedures?

A 'Note' in operating procedures offers explanatory information that adds clarity or context to the main content. This type of information is usually aimed at enhancing the understanding of specific instructions or guidelines, providing additional details that can help the operator comprehend why a procedure is necessary, or emphasizing important considerations related to the procedure. By including explanatory information, a 'Note' aids in ensuring that operators are not only following directions but also understand the rationale behind them, which can lead to better decision-making and safety practices.

In contrast to other types of information, a 'Note' does not typically provide statistical data, historical context, or legal advice, as those are often detailed in separate sections or documents designed for those specific purposes. Each of those categories serves a distinct function that is different from the explanatory role of a 'Note'.
