They shouldn't be creating instructions and it's bad practice to let them. When I worked with the Air Force every report the engineers wrote was sent through tech editing to be turned into English. That was not so at GM.
Everything I wrote for my magazines was sent through a copy editor. I know how to write English, but it's easy to assume too much of your readers ability to follow along. A copy editor makes sure everything is readable at the level of your audience.
