One way companies are doing this is by linking their Quality Management System (QMS) with their safety management program.
Integrated software allows you to consolidate the two into one system, reducing your IT footprint while giving you more robust data, and predictive intelligence to identify correlations between safety and quality events.
Integrated GMP Software allows you to:
Track employee training compliance for safety and quality procedures in one place to monitor/report compliance.
Automatically trigger new training requirements when you make changes in the Document Control (replace with link to SDS) system, such as changes to SDS records.
Draw in data from quality records, employee training and non conformances to better identify the root cause during Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) investigations.
Incorporate Risk Management into various quality and safety activities, including supplier management, CAPA tracking and customer complaints.
Once you recognize that safety and quality are two sides of the same coin, you’ll find it’s much easier to improve performance in both. Ultimately, connecting lab quality and safety is a way to reduce costs and effort, mitigate business risks, while simultaneously reducing quality defects in the lab.
