looking at aiming our Company toward 18001....The company have already Policies and Procedures for most things such as 'Incident Reporting', 'Fire Response' etc....Now as there is several companies within the company....and the Procedures are an over view of what to do...can I add 'Work Instructions' for each procedure which is more site specific??? Will this confuse things?

It is not only possible to have local, more specific instructions, but normal, helpful and advisable. For example, if your overview of what to do after an injury includes something like 'fill in the departmental accident book' then in each department you would need to tell people where their department's accident book is.

Your procedures should be your main stepping stones of how things are done, supplemented by detail instructions as and when required. So to answer your question Yes you can and in some instances should. Chris
