Human Error and Documentation Practices in Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)

Laboratory records often reflect daily pressure and routine habits, requiring deliberate decisions about how human error is controlled within GLP documentation systems. This session organizes documentation practices around GLP expectations, clarifying how human error arises, how records are evaluated, and how traceability is maintained.

Designed for professionals accountable for laboratory data integrity, record accuracy, and audit-ready documentation controls.
