Which items are reviewed annually by originators and canceled when no longer applicable?

• A. Manuals
• B. Standards
• C. Procedures
• D. Regulations

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the most actionable, day‑to‑day instructions for a unit live in manuals, and those documents must be kept current. The person who originated or maintains the manual is responsible for reviewing it every year to verify that its content still reflects current practices, equipment, and safety requirements. If any portion of the manual is no longer applicable, it is canceled or removed to prevent confusion and the risk of following outdated guidance. This ongoing, annual review keeps the manual as a reliable, authoritative source for how tasks should be performed and what procedures to follow.

Other items like standards, procedures, or regulations are often updated through different processes or by different authorities, with their own review cycles. But the particular practice described—annual review by the originator and cancellation when not applicable—fits the way manuals are maintained as living documents that directly guide operations and safety in daily tasks.
