GLP staff training, records and supporting documentation

GLP is a government legislation that must be complied with when conducting safety studies for regulatory submission. The availability of documentation to verify the training and ability of staff employed in the laboratory is one of the requirements of this legislation. This article gives an overview of the use of training and training records in a bioanalytical laboratory. This article is designed to offer guidance to staff involved in GLP work and to outline some options with regard to the design of a training plan, recording of information, implenting training and reviewing records. However, the formal recording of training has benefits within any quality system, regardless of legislation.
