We all need to be checked periodically by a ‘fresh pair of eyes’ to ensure we are doing what our Quality protocols say we should be.
The Group Quality Manager has ultimate responsibility for ensuring internal audits are carried out on a regular basis by persons designated to be appropriately trained.
Audits should happen at least once a year.
Prior to the audit, any outstanding areas of action from previous audits shall be added to the check sheet.
Audit findings shall be discussed with personnel in the area under audit and any corrective actions required will have time frames agreed for completion.
The Quality Manager will monitor progress on closing of corrective actions by reviewing Audit Report Forms on a monthly basis.
Audit Report Forms shall be forwarded to the Managing Director for appropriate action where items are not closed out in a timely manner.
