2-Day Virtual Seminar on GLP Laboratory Compliance Documentation and R

About The Course:

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) demands a meticulous approach to documentation. Our seminar, "GLP Laboratory Compliance Documentation and Recordkeeping," dives deep into both overarching and detailed aspects of compliance that can lead to non-conformance issues. Participants will gain insights into areas ranging from data recording, validation challenges, training records, to document archiving.

Common pitfalls in compliance are often overlooked, yet they can be critical during an audit. This seminar will identify and elaborate on typical and unique errors specific to different laboratories. For professionals implementing GLP or maintaining certification, this course is invaluable for highlighting key areas to focus on, ultimately reducing the risk of a negative audit outcome.

The core of GLP or ISO 17025 compliance often revolves around Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), training, quality assurance, and statistical performance assessments. However, auditors may scrutinize beyond these areas. A lab could excel in these primary areas yet fail due to overlooked aspects such as recordkeeping, archiving, basic operations, and safety measures.

SEMINAR OBJECTIVES:

By the end of this course, participants will:

Recognize Essential Documentation: Understand the variety of critical documents required in a GLP-compliant laboratory.
Master Logbook Entries: Learn the requirements for proper logbook entries and identify non-compliant practices.
Optimize Logbook Usage: Appreciate the significance of logbooks for chemicals, instruments, calibration, maintenance, repair, and training. Know the appropriate information for each type.
Enhance Recordkeeping Skills: Grasp the essential practices for maintaining accurate records and effective archiving.

This seminar is designed to empower laboratory professionals with the knowledge to enhance their documentation practices, ensuring comprehensive compliance with GLP standards. Join us to refine your laboratory's documentation and recordkeeping processes, securing a smoother path through audits and beyond.
