Which action is not part of the recommended CSOSS update process?

• A. Document changes
• B. Skip updating procedures and rely on memory
• C. Test updated procedures
• D. Brief all watch personnel

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that updating CSOSS is a formal change-management process that ensures everyone uses current, verified procedures. The recommended steps are to document what changed, update the procedures accordingly, test the updated procedures to verify they work, and brief all watch personnel so they understand the new instructions. Skipping the updating of procedures and relying on memory goes against this process because memory is fallible and not auditable. Without updated, documented procedures, changes aren’t verifiable or trainable, which can lead to inconsistent actions, safety risks, and failures during operations. Therefore, the action not part of the recommended process is skipping the procedure update and relying on memory.
