All that sounds very sensible to me, Dave (but there again, you're not in the EU). As I say, hopefully things like this may well get "back to normal" soon.
I also don't remember being flooded with operators' manuals "back in the day" (usually the exact opposite, in fact). But there again, I have never held any management positions in "first world" hospitals.
PS: I hope you're well away from the "climate emergency" where you are.
