Harrington identifies personnel training needs, provides required training where applicable, and evaluates the effectiveness of the training provided. Personnel performing work affecting conformity to product requirements, specific tasks, operations, and processes are qualified and competent on the basis of appropriate education, experience, skills and training. Employees/team members are made aware of the relevance and importance of their activities and how they contribute to the achievement of quality objectives. Records of personnel qualifications and training are maintained.
