We were recently pushed in an external audit to demonstrate that we train people to procedures prior to the documents being effective. How do you guys handle this? Do you have a process to set a future effective date on documents that align with training due dates, or are documents simply in-force and effective as soon as they are approved? There is nothing in the reg's that points to training to a document prior to the change being effective and we have always maintained that a person needs to train before they complete a particular task rather than before a documents effectivity date. We are all trained to many processes but don't necessarily execute on all of them all of the time, so if a document revises on a process that I am not currently executing on do I need to be trained to it before it's effectivity date? I don't think that I do.
I am just wondering what others do as I feel we may not be aligned with current practices. Thank you for any input that you can provide.
