Staff training is a fundamental requirement of Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and compliant transport of pharmaceutical products.
Well-trained staff understand how to handle temperature-sensitive products, operate refrigeration equipment, and follow correct loading and unloading procedures. This significantly reduces the risk of temperature excursions, physical damage, and contamination.
GDP requires that all logistics activities are performed according to approved standard operating procedures (SOPs). Regular training ensures that employees consistently apply these procedures in real-world conditions, including during urgent or high-risk shipments.
Trained personnel can quickly recognize deviations, report them correctly, and follow escalation procedures. This allows timely corrective actions and protects both product quality and regulatory compliance.
During audits and inspections, staff must demonstrate knowledge of GDP requirements and internal procedures. Continuous training ensures that employees are confident, competent, and prepared for regulatory review.
Training supports not only technical skills but also quality awareness. When staff understand the impact of their actions on patient safety, GDP compliance becomes part of everyday operations rather than just a formal requirement.
At Smart Express Forwarding, continuous staff training is an integral part of our quality system, ensuring reliable GDP-compliant pharmaceutical logistics in Ukraine and across borders.
