What are regulatory requirements for employee training?
At a high level, regulatory requirements for employee training call for companies to ensure employees have the appropriate level of education, training or experience necessary to properly fulfill duties. This includes identifying employee training needs, and developing and implementing programs to address those needs. Records of employee competence and training completion are essential.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are the two most common organizations that develop these standards. Regulations that incorporate employee training requirements include:
- FDA 21 CFR, Part 211
- FDA 21 CFR, Part 820
- ISO 9001
- ISO 13485
