What training should GLP personnel complete and maintain records for?

• A. GLP principles, SOPs, QA processes, data integrity practices, safety training; records kept for regulatory evidence
• B. GLP Principles and Safety Training Only
• C. SOPs and QA Processes Only
• D. Safety Training Only

Answer: (A)

In GLP, personnel must be trained across the full range of activities that affect study quality and safety. Training should cover GLP principles to understand the framework and expectations, SOPs to perform tasks consistently, QA processes to recognize and address quality issues, data integrity practices to ensure information is accurate, complete, and traceable, and safety training to protect staff and comply with regulations. Keeping records of all this training provides regulatory evidence that staff are competent and that the work was conducted under proper GLP controls. If training focuses on just one area, important gaps remain—without broad training, data integrity, quality assurance, and safety can all be compromised, which can jeopardize the entire study.
