Human Behavior Influences Microbial Contamination in Clean Rooms

A clinical, pharmaceutic web seminar on human behavior in the clean room and controlled environments will take place on July 14, 2009.

The instructor will be industry consultant and specialist, Charles Gyecsek, and the seminar will be available to participants in North America and Europe.

Most human medical products, including diagnostics, drugs, devices, and biologics, are manufactured under controlled environmental conditions. These special environments are designed, built, validated, and operated in a manner that should ensure protection of products from microbial contaminants. The major source of contamination and variance in cleanroom operation is human-based, and it is therefore critical to ensure that human behavior is consistently controlled within the cleanrooms.

The live Web training course is directed toward quality assurance (QA) auditors and personnel, operations managers, microbiologists, manufacturing operators, and maintenance personnel, training departments, and consultants. Typical contaminants and their sources in the cleanroom will be described in the seminar. The influence of personnel in the clean room will also be discussed, with emphasis on good and bad human behavior.

The seminar aims to provide an in-depth understanding of cleanroom contaminants, to minimize nonconformances, and to reduce rates of batch rework and rejections. Ben Astrum (Montreal, Canada) and Ben Astrum's Expert Affiliates designs and will present the course.
