Focus on GxPs

Everyone needs to be reminded to keep their focus on their job—and FOCUS on GXPs is the perfect way to make sure that happens. These six real-world DVD programs are based on actual incidents and shot in a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. They show what can happen when employees lose their focus on the job.

What's FOCUS? It's used as an acronym that encourages people to:

F– Focus on their job
Focus on the job at hand. Give it all your attention. Don't let yourself be distracted or preoccupied with something else. Talk to everyone involved with the job so all of you clearly understand what's to be done.

O– Organize their work
Organize your work so well that you won't have a chance to make mistakes. A well-organized workplace helps you stay error free.

C– Check their procedures
Check the SOPs for the job. Don't do the job until you've checked those all-important operating procedures. They're your guide for consistent work.

U– Use the right tools and equipment; wear the appropriate clothing
Use the right tools and equipment for the job. Make sure that they're in good condition. And wear the proper clothing required for the job.

S– Sum up the job when it's complete
Did you do the job as intended? Did you document the work properly? It's a chance to ensure you followed all the FOCUS steps before you leave any job.
