Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced today that Tennessee’s Severe Weather Awareness Week is Feb. 24 to March 2, 2019, and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA), Tennessee Association of Broadcasters (TAB), and the National Weather Service (NWS) are asking Tennesseans to make severe weather planning and preparedness a priority.

“Severe weather, natural disasters, and man-made threats can happen anytime and increase in magnitude without warning,” Gov. Lee said. “Tennesseans can prepare now for floods, severe weather, and tornadoes so they can be ready to take life-saving actions to protect themselves and their families should the need arise.”

DA inspection and oversight of quality control (QC) laboratories are essential elements of the agency’s evaluation of the compliance status of regulated companies representing multiple industries – pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, as well as foods and cosmetics – as well as the contract QC laboratories which service these industries. Lack of compliance can result in severe regulatory actions, criminal liability, fines, and the inability to obtain product approvals.

This course will examine the fundamental requirements for all QC laboratories subject to FDA inspection, recent trends from FDA inspection reports and enforcement actions. In addition, this course will include a list of relevant regulations and guidelines and demonstrate how quality control and quality assurance personnel can monitor industry practices to stay “current” with FDA requirements (cGMPs and GLPs).
