2. Attire and PPE: Required attire includes facility-issued garments and PPE appropriate to the area (hairnets, beard covers, gowns, gloves, footwear). Garments must be stored and laundered per facility procedure. Use of personal clothing or personal protective items not issued by the facility is prohibited.

3. Health Reporting: Employees must report illnesses, open wounds, skin conditions, or symptoms that could affect product safety to their manager prior to entering GMP areas. Management will evaluate and determine work restrictions or temporary reassignment.

All personnel assigned to GMP areas must complete initial GMP training before unsupervised access and periodic refresher training thereafter. Training records will be maintained and reviewed. Employees must demonstrate competency in applicable procedures and participate in periodic evaluations.

Required Records: training records, gowning logs, sanitation logs, deviation reports, corrective action plans, and continuous monitoring logs. Records shall be legible, dated, signed, and retained in accordance with facility retention schedules.

Non-Conformance, Deviations, and Discipline

Corrective actions will be applied proportionally and may include retraining, temporary suspension of GMP access, written warnings, or termination for repeated or intentional violations. All disciplinary actions will be documented.

Monitoring and Audits

Management will conduct routine inspections and audits to ensure compliance with this policy. Non-conformities identified during monitoring will require documented corrective and preventive actions and verification of effectiveness.
