DUBLIN, October 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The “Record keeping and documentation in a GLP laboratory (US FDA, US EPA and OSHA Focus)” training has been added to from ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.

This course is for those who work in laboratories that must comply with Good Laboratory Practices or ISO 17025, especially those whose results must be reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

GLP requires many types of documents. The seminar covers both general issues and many specifics for which laboratories may receive a non-compliance. These range from data logging and validation issues to training records and document archiving.

An auditor can find many common errors and many, many others that are specific to a particular lab. This seminar will review many areas of compliance and highlight some of these two types. For those implementing GLP or striving to maintain certification, this course should highlight many areas to review that would reduce an unsatisfactory audit.

Much of the attention paid to a laboratory’s compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) or the analogous ISO 17025 standard focuses on things such as standard operating procedures (SOPs), training, testing quality assurance and statistical evaluation of performance and conformity. However, these are not the only things an auditor can dig into.

These can form the core of an audit, but a lab can still fail an audit despite performing well in all of these areas. Since the labs focus on these, other areas may be overlooked – the more mundane and straightforward areas, such as record keeping and archiving, basic lab operations, and security.

Learning objectives:

At the end of this course, participants should:

• Know the diversity of common documentation within a compliant laboratory.
