Activities related to Phase 3 - Documents and Records

Store all documents of the laboratory in a safe manner protected from potential damaging external factors (an improper protected laboratory archive should also have been identified in the facility and safety assessments in phase 1, upon which it should have been translated in an action point for upgrading).

This means that documents should be stored in a cabinet that ideally is fire resistant, water resistant, insect resistant and lockable. Use a correct and orderly system to keep oversight over all different types of documents. Make sure that only authorized personnel are able to access the documents in the quality archive (and thus have access to the key or have the access-code to unlock the cabinet).
