Cleanroom Training Courses

Over the last few years, we have launched added capabilities relative to cleanroom training and testing.

The on-site training can be implemented in several ways. We have done short courses, that largely involves lecture only in as little as one day on-site. Depending on the number of people, a full training and testing class can take as long as two weeks.

Usually, prior to actual training, we like to set aside the first day to do a full engineering controls and certification reports of valuation. This gives us the ability to prioritize and tailor the training specifically to your facility.

When first launching a training class program we evaluate the number of people that will attend and what level of training the hospital wants.

One question we always ask during the process of evaluating the number of people attending is who from the cleaning staff is going to be involved. Usually that question gets a bit of a silent response as it is not generally considered.

However, cleaning training is a quite critical aspect for cleanroom operation. We usually recommend that pharmacy staff handle cleaning of the cleanroom.

After we go into detail as to why, we often find quick agreement. This is due in part to the critical nature of the job in the amount of turnover typically seen in housekeeping. Considering that cleaning staff has to go through counting training and gloved fingertip testing, it usually makes sense to reduce the number of people that have to be trained, retrained and tested.

    Cleanroom Training FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is cleanroom training and why is it important?
    Cleanroom training is education provided to personnel working in cleanrooms to ensure they understand protocols for maintaining cleanliness, controlling contamination, and following procedures to minimize risks. It is important to uphold stringent cleanliness standards required in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and electronics manufacturing, where even minor contamination can affect product quality and safety.
    What are the key objectives of cleanroom training?
    The key objectives of cleanroom training include educating personnel about cleanroom classifications and standards, teaching proper gowning procedures, understanding contamination sources and control measures, promoting adherence to protocols for equipment use and material handling, and fostering a culture of cleanliness and accountability.
    Who needs cleanroom training within an organization?
    Cleanroom training is necessary for all personnel who enter or work within cleanroom environments, including operators, technicians, supervisors, quality assurance personnel, and maintenance staff. Training ensures that everyone understands their roles in maintaining cleanliness and minimizing contamination risks.
    What topics are typically covered in cleanroom training programs?
    Typical topics covered in cleanroom training programs include cleanroom classifications and standards (e.g., ISO 14644), gowning and hygiene practices, behavior and conduct in cleanrooms, contamination control methods, equipment usage and maintenance, emergency procedures, and regulatory compliance requirements.
    How often should cleanroom training be conducted?
    Cleanroom training should be conducted initially for new employees entering the cleanroom environment. Refresher training should occur regularly, typically annually or semi-annually, to reinforce protocols, update personnel on any changes in standards or procedures, and ensure continuous compliance with regulatory requirements.
    What are the regulatory requirements for cleanroom training?
    Regulatory requirements for cleanroom training vary by industry and location but often include adherence to standards such as GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), ISO standards for cleanrooms, and specific guidelines from regulatory bodies like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or EMA (European Medicines Agency). Training records must be maintained and audits may be conducted to verify compliance.
