Workshop on Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

Program Overview:

Good laboratory practice or GLP. specifically refers to a quality system of management controls for research laboratories and organizations to try to ensure the uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and integrity of chemical (including pharmaceuticals) non-clinical safety tests; from   physio-chemical properties through acute to chronic toxicity tests. It eliminates any form of defects from the onset and provides the organization’s the competitive edge that comes with quality products.

For whom:

This program is designed for Laboratory Scientists/ Technologists, Laboratory Managers/Supervisors, Users of laboratory Equipment and Laboratory Equipment Procurement Officers.

Learning objectives:

At the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• acquaint themselves with the principles of good laboratory practices, equipment management, and safety procedures in the laboratory;
• effectively implement and maintain a GLP Quality Assurance function in their organization based on acceptable rationale;
• perform inspections and audits of all on-going GLP activities;
• undertake the role of Lead QA in a multi-site situation;
• set up and maintain a QA program; and
• perform report reviews using different techniques.
