GMP Awareness Training

Overview

GMP Awareness Training covers all aspects of production, including materials, premises, equipment, training, and the personal hygiene of staff.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) are two programmatic frameworks for ensuring the quality and health of food, plastics and pharmaceuticals.

GMP is one of the “first steps” in ensuring and ensuring food safety as a set of principles that must be followed to ensure that products meet regulatory requirements for safety and quality.

It can be one of the components of a HACCP standard/system, a systematic approach to the manufacture/processing of food/products designed to prevent hazards from occurring.

This GMP Awareness Training is the essential first step in building a robust food safety culture. For team members who will be involved in the practical application of these principles, our GMP Implementation Course provides the hands-on skills needed to develop documents and procedures.

GMP compliance is critical in manufacturing. Providing quality-assured products ensures the health and safety of the public.

Robust processes and user-friendly systems for enforcing and monitoring standards can enhance your company’s GMP compliance.

In Malaysia, MS 1514:2022 (second revision) GMP is the requirement standards defined by Ministry of Health Section of Food Safety & Quality Division.

GMP certification is aims to upgrade the level of standards of food and non–food manufacturer in producing safer food, cosmetics, and health supplement as well as traditional medicine.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) ensures that products are produced and controlled consistently according to quality standards. GMP minimizes the risks involved in any food or non–food production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.

The Importance of GMP Awareness Training

Providing GMP Awareness Training to employees is the best way to ensure compliance with GMP standards. It help employees to better understand GMP and continuously improve operations or systems to ensure standards are GMP compliant.

All employees should be trained on record keeping, hygiene, proper equipment handling and labeling, and SOPs to minimize errors and maintain compliance.

GMP Awareness Course ensures the workers to practice according to GMP standards so that the quantity of the product is controlled and manufactured to meet quality standards.

GMP includes many factors such as hygiene, environmental conditions, etc. This process can identify undetectable errors or anomalies earlier if the final product is tested or already on the market.

By ensuring your products pass GMP standards, you get a high-quality end product that is safe to use or consume, increasing customer satisfaction and increasing revenue.

While this course stands alone, participants seeking a holistic foundation often combine it with our Comprehensive Food Safety Training for Food Service. For those specifically needing to understand the critical control point system that works alongside GMP, the HACCP Awareness Training is the perfect companion course.

Frequently Ask Question (FAQ's)

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors. This protects the consumer from purchasing a product that is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure, fines, and jail time.
GMP regulations address issues including recordkeeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides much flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner that makes sense for each individual business.
