Hi All,
I have recently changed sector from medical devices to electronics, and work for a company with many certifications including TS16949, AS9100, IRIS, ISO13485 and 14001.
Since taking up this new role I have been performing quality and environmental audits of all areas and functions with a view to improving the slightly messy management system, whilst addressing my additional task of implementing the OH&S standard 18001, which is progressing nicely.
Throughout the auditing, and during 18001 implementation, the subject of training quite obviously arises, which brings me nicely to my question concerning training records.
Throughout my career I have found myself responsible for training, either implementing it's system of control, performing, or both, and have always ensured (possibly unnecessarily so) that: -
a) all training is signed for by the persons giving and receiving and, b) records of, or reference to, training material is recorded.
However, at my new place of employment neither a) or b) are followed.
The lack of this information will not be acceptable for 18001, but is it acceptable for the quality certifications we hold?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
