Training

Training forms

All personnel (staff, students, visitors) working in an OGTR certified facility must be trained in the OGTR requirements of the Physical Containment Facility Guidelines, irrespective of whether they are working with GMOs. Personnel must indicate to the certification holder that they fully understand their training in the OGTR requirements by signing a record of their training. The organisation must keep a record of those trained, which will be made available to the OGTR if requested.

Facility Managers should ensure that all personnel are adequately trained before commencing work in a certified facility and that records of training are maintained. The IBC maintains a register of all training for which a form is completed and sent to the IBC. The following 'Record of Training' forms should be routinely completed and forwarded as indicated.
