Employees performance, assigned duties

The FDA has refrained from specif5ung exactly what scientific disciphnes, education, training, or expertise qualify individuals to participate in the conduct of a nonclinical laboratory study. These factors vary from study to study, and FDA has merely indicated that the question of employee qualifications should be carefully considered by laboratory management. Laboratory management therefore has considerable latitude to define job qualifications. Any reputable laboratory will find it to be in its own best interest to hire competent individuals and to provide adequate on-the-job training to qualify those individuals to perform their assigned duties. The FDA is not likely to make an issue of employee qualifications rniless an inspection reveals an obvious case of employee incompetence.

Each position in a department has its own unique set of duhes and responsibilities. For example, not all clerical staff perform exactly the same combination of tasks, though much of what they do is similar. An exact description of the duties and responsibilities an employee needs to perform can be provided by writing (or updating) a job descriphon. The descriphon should be specific to the posihons in a parhcular department or unit. It should include the phrase and other duhes as assigned to cover unexpected or occasional tasks and should be updated as often as is needed to keep it current. 

Goals may be set for each duty or project assigned. They may be set for activities or behaviors that apply to many assignments or projects (e.g., computer work or cooperation). It is important that everyone who will be involved in evaluating an employee s performance is clear about which aspects of the employee s performance will be evaluated and what successful performance will look like. You should be able to match outcome-based criteria in the job description, project assignment, or both, directly to the evaluation criteria in the performance evaluation instrument. 

Group II A job classification in which SOME employees have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. Employees in this group would be those whose performance of their duties as defined by their job classification, or whose special assigned tasks, put them at risk for possible exposure to human blood or other potentially infectious materials. An example of an employee who would fit into this classification would be an instrument technician whose duties require routine maintenance or repair of an instrument in which blood or other potentially infectious materials might be encountered. These individuals must receive the same training and orientation as employees in Group I.

Normal operating conditions are those which employees encormter in performing their job duties in their assigned work areas.
