06/05/2012 - Leadership in Manufacturing Contamination Control - Webinar By GlobalCompliancePanel

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Overview: The Microbiology Lab must take leadership in contamination control support for production because it is the hub of the necessary technical expertise.

This broad manufacturing support role covers many areas, including routine raw material and product testing, disinfectant/sanitant qualification, water and compressed gas testing, environmental monitoring, microbiological 'awareness training' of production operators, etc. Perhaps their most difficult leadership role is in contamination control investigations where product is at risk, manufacturing may be at a standstill, and the pressure to resume operation with a quick (and possibly incorrect) fix is tremendous. In these situations, the microbiology lab can either gain or lose credibility in the eyes of manufacturing management depending on the timeliness of its success in discovering and resolving the problems. This presentation will discuss these roles and how the lab can assure these activities are performed in a manner that facilitates root cause excursion investigations and avoids the lab or its personnel becoming the inadvertent cause of the excursions.

Why Should You Attend:
Someone must spearhead the effort to control a manufacturing site's microbial contamination issues. Though it typically is QA's responsibility to 'assure' that production has no facility, raw material, or process contamination that could lead to product contamination, QA is not typically staffed by microbiologists who truly understand all the issues with this aspect of quality assurance. Therefore, it naturally should fall to the microbiology lab to take a lead role since likely no one else at the site has that expertise or is so intimately involved in the contamination assessment testing. Those supervising and doing this testing have a crucial role in the site's microbiological condition. They must be more than a data mill -- they must also interpret the data, even when not asked to do so. In spite of the logical role the Micro Lab can serve in proactively controlling microbial contamination on-site, there are often many impediments to their being able to assume this role. They are not insurmountable, but they must be overcome for the Labs to be able to help. Don't miss this webinar if you want to better understand how the micro lab can be more effectively utilized to prevent or head off microbial contamination issues as well as effectively resolve such problems should they have already occurred.

Areas Covered in the Session:

How contamination is controlled
Why the microbiology lab should lead in contamination control
Routine contamination evaluation activities
Microbiological training
Root cause and impact investigations
Impediments to leadership
Observed contamination correlations & doing the right thing

06/05/2012 - Auditing Analytical Laboratories for FDA Compliance - Webinar By GlobalCompliancePanel

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Overview: Auditing analytical laboratories can be complex because of the preparation that is often required. All of the GMP rules do not apply to the laboratory; while there may be additional requirements depending upon the type of testing that is being conducted.

In many cases, the laboratory itself may not understand what regulations apply to the work that is being conducted. This presentation will discuss what advance preparation is needed on the part of the auditor, and discuss what the auditor should look for during the audit. Since documentation is often an issue, a discussion of documentation problems will be presented.

Areas Covered in the Session:

GMP regulations that apply to analytical laboratories.
Reviewing documentation
Advance preparation for the audit
Auditing styles and structures
Equipment and laboratory instrument qualification.
What to look for while doing a walk-through.
Other regulations and standards, including ISO 17025
Following through on the audit

Who Will Benefit:This webinar will be of benefit to company auditors who need to investigate the qualifications of contract testing laboratories and internal testing facilities. It will also be beneficial to workers in laboratories that will be audited or inspected by external parties. Personnel from companies that perform testing on small molecule drugs, biologicals, and nutraceuticals will benefit from knowing what standards are being applied to them.

The following specific types of workers will benefit from this webinar:

External and Internal Auditors
Supervisors and Analysts in Quality Control Laboratories and Quality Assurance groups.
Supervisors and Analysts in Contract Testing Laboratories
Personnel Responsible for Selecting Contract Testing Laboratories
Consultants

06/05/2012 - ress Code Nightmares: How to Deal with them and How to Prevent them

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Overview : This practical webinar teaches HR professionals and small business owners how to avoid harassment or discrimination claims that can arise from poorly handled - or inconsistently enforced - dress code issues. It provides specific guidance on how to talk about some of the most difficult topics there are - body odor, inappropriate dress, an unkempt appearance, etc.

Why you should attend: What employees wear to work might seem like a trivial matter - unless you're in HR. Not only are dress code policies frequently violated, what people wear to work can relate to more fundamental rights such as the right to religious or ethnic expression.

Areas Covered In the Session:

When dress code problems are likely to arise and how to prevent them
Who should talk to an employee about inappropriate dress - and how to do it
Why 'provocative' should never be used in a dress code conversation
what to do when an employee responds to a dress code conversation with a sexual harassment complaint
How to avoid the most common dress-code-related harassment or discrimination complaints
How to change a dress code without inciting employee rebellion
How to write a dress code policy that gives you some wiggle room

Who will benefit:

Chief Human Resource Officers
Senior Management Team
HR Managers, Directors, and Administrators
Supervisors
Employment Managers

06/05/2012 - Mineral oil migration from recycled carton board

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:00:00 +0000

Paper and cardboard are important food packaging materials. Recycling of paper is - due to commercial aspects as well as environmental considerations - the most relevant source for paper and board raw materials. One of the main sources of recycled papers are newspapers. These are printed with non-food grade inks containing mineral oils with up to 20% aromatic compounds. These so-called MOAH, as well as the aliphatic components, the MOSH, have been found in food samples all over Europe in the last two years. Due to a lack of toxicological data the impact and consequences of these findings are still unclear.

The Eurofins Focal Point Webinar will present the sources and migration pathways of mineral oils from packaging and the enormous challenges they pose to the food and packaging industries. Our expert speakers will also discuss current analytical options for these complex substance mixtures, which are suspected to contain up to 2000 individual compounds, the typical results of food and packaging analysis as well as possible solutions for the food and packaging industries.

06/04/2012 - 'Best Practices' for Pay Card Implementation

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:00:00 +0000

The implementation strategy overview is designed to help payroll professionals increase direct deposit participation by offering a payroll debit card. Payroll departments across the country have understood the benefits associated with direct deposit since its introduction in the 70s. From cost-savings to added convenience to fraud reduction, direct deposit vs. paper check is no contest.

The challenge to many US employers is the growing number of employees who don't have a traditional banking relationship, otherwise known as the 'un-banked'. In a recent study by Visa® and the APA, the number of un-banked workers is estimated at over 45 million households. Without an alternative banking solution available for those un-banked employees, standard direct deposit messaging is ineffective.

The pay card option provides a last line of defense for all US employers to effectively increase direct deposit, by allowing a straightforward, all-inclusive option for employee participation. In the majority of states, direct deposit can be made a condition of employment. By offering the pay card, every legal US employee can experience the benefits of direct deposit.

Since 2004, TFG Card Solutions has helped over 1,200 US employers of all sizes eliminate paper checks by providing a two-pronged approach: 1) Provide a first rate value offering that employers and employees can be excited about; 2) Assist our extremely busy clientele with effective marketing tools to message the enhanced benefit offering and company initiative.

We look forward to presenting our learned best practices to help employers dramatically reduce and/or eliminate the costly paper check from the payroll process.

06/04/2012 - Service Level Agreements (SLAs) - Preparation Guidelines for Effective SLAs

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:00:00 +0000

This 2-hr webinar on Service Level Agreements (SLAs) will provide you with sound principles and a set of guidelines for developing and preparing 'effective' Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for an internal service function or an outside service provider.

Why Should You Attend:

Experience indicates that organizations that do not take the time to develop and agree upon a sound set of SLAs to facilitate Service Level Management (SLM) are likely to fail and/or have great difficulty in measuring delivery performance by internal or external service providers. For organizations that outsource critical services, such as IT, the new laws and regulations implicitly demand that outside and outsourced services meet compliance requirements just as much as any internally company run services. Regulatory compliance has added impetus to the need to have sound SLAs to ensure outsourced services are properly governed.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

The Importance of Service Level Agreements (SLA) - Definition of key terms.
Service Level Agreements as a Key Element of the Service Level Management (SLM) Process.
In what situations Can SLAs Be Applied and Useful? Modern view of SLAs for internal and external service provisioning, Including all Types of Services.
Foundation for Developing SLAs-Direct relation to Governance and Risk Management.
A General Methodology for Developing SLAs.
Determining Performance Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
Importance of Developing 'User-facing SLAs' that Are Truly Responsive to Users' Needs.

06/01/2012 - Thoughts on Google App Engine: a Python Programmer's Perspective

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Friday, June 1, 2012

Presented by: Paul Barry

Duration: Approximately 60 minutes.

Cost: Free

Google recently promoted their App Engine technology from 'preview' to a fully supported, released product, and last year App Engine survived the 'project cull' that occurred at Google just after Larry Page stepped up to the plate as CEO.

In this O'Reilly webcast, Paul Barry discusses the current state of App Engine based on his experience teaching the technology both within an undergraduate and commercial setting.

If you are interested in learning a bit more about App Engine before diving in, sign up for this webcast for a jump-start on the decision making process. Learn what's possible with App Engine, as well as just how easy it is to get started.

Get answers to those FAQs that frequently pop up, including:

Just how free is App Engine?
Can App Engine run my SQL?
Am I locked-in to Google from now until eternity if I develop with App Engine?

In fact, why not sign up for the webcast, and ask your own questions? When illustrating a point, Paul will use Python as the programming language. Don't let this worry you if your into Java or Go, as Paul will make a concerted effort to mention those technologies when it makes sense to.

So... what's stopping you? Click that 'register now' button. (You know you want to).

About Paul Barry

Paul Barry lectures at the Institute of Technology, Carlow in Ireland, where he specializes in open source scripting technologies, web/cloud development, and systems management.

His latest - part of the hugely popular O'Reilly Head First series - is Head First Python, which is designed to get non-Python programmers up-to-speed with Python in as short a time-frame as possible (not to mention including of a cracker of a chapter on Google App Engine). Paul has yet to miss an opportunity to present (sometimes more than once) at every single PyCon Ireland conference, and he recently delivered a one-day intensive introductory tutorial on App Engine to FlossUK. Like most of us, Paul spends far too much time in front of a computer screen. Occasionally, he actually gets some work done. ;-)
