Every day, people write casual emails, meeting minutes and sticky notes, never anticipating that an FDA inspector or other third party will read them. But these are exactly the types of correspondences that are often used to determine an organization’s overall compliance profile.

And thanks to product liability lawyers, these notes also need to be defensible…from criminal actions and lawsuits. A simple and harmless phrase such as “This will negatively impact our bottom line,” can be the key piece of evidence against you in a product liability case.

But don’t be afraid to write the next email. Join FDAnews on Nov. 13-14 for a two-day intensive workshop:FDA Recordkeeping, Dangerous Documents and Writing for Compliance™.

This is not a typical workshop

Instead of sitting and being lectured to, participants will engage in case studies, role playing, real-life examples and exercises designed to ensure that the written word not only properly reflects compliance initiatives, but also prevents trouble. Attendees will leave this workshop knowing:

  • Who in your company could be held criminally liable for record deficiencies
  • Core requirements for keeping records
  • Questions FDA investigators ask to determine the trustworthiness of records
  • Expectations for digital versus paper records
  • Email’s risks
  • How to establish an effective records retention schedule
  • Proper ways of handling supplier and CAPA records
  • How to balance long-term storage challenges — paper and digital
  • FDA-approved techniques for disposing of records

BONUS - Attendees will receive a USB drive that contains more than 100 checklists, SOPs, cheat sheets, ready-to-use forms, policy papers, guidances, articles and more. Click here for a full list.
