Re: Control of Quality Records
The best approach would be to go to each manager/department/process owner and find out what records are currently being kept, where, for how long and what happens at the end of that retention period. Prepare your records list by department, so it becomes easy to use and update by your personnel. Take care not to clutter the list with documents (procedures, manuals, work instructions, etc). Remember the adage; documents tell you what to do, records show what you did. Cross reference the 4.2.4 references and anyplace in the standard, corporate requirements, state, local, federal, OSHA, customers, etc. that require you to have evidence you have met some specified requirement. Using 4.2.4 references alone, it may not be clear if you captured everything. Example - everyone knows training records is a must, but what about personnel files, which may be the only record that contains evidence of minimum qualification for new hires?
If you want to double the number of records you are keeping, run it by the corporate lawyer.
Good luck
