Details

Observe chemical and microbiological testing of starting materials and reflect on the process

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Consider the elements of process including:
  • The supply chain and requirements for testing based on confidence in the supplier
  • Specifications and standards
  • Consideration of BSE and TSE
  • COSHH requirements
  • Health and safety for material testing and reagents
  • Checks and approvals
