Develop and maintain laboratory documentation
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge to develop and maintain relevant documentation in response to identified information requirements or changes in laboratory policy or external accreditation requirements. It includes the analysis of specialised technical requirements and the development and/or amendment of workplace documents, procedures and record keeping systems using established workplace procedures. Final responsibility for documentation generally rests with professional scientific/medical/engineering staff who have the appropriate signatory status or legal delegation.
This unit applies to technical officers and laboratory supervisors working in all industry sectors.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. However, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements for laboratory operations exist, so local requirements should be checked. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied.
