Providing each staff member with specific training regarding Good Laboratory Practices is the responsibility of the institution's:

• A. Biosafety office
• B. Quality assurance unit
• C. Human resources office
• D. Occupational health and safety office

Answer: (B)

Quality assurance is responsible for establishing and maintaining the quality system that covers data integrity and regulatory compliance, which includes ensuring that every staff member receives GLP-specific training. The QA unit designs the GLP training program, keeps records of who has completed what, and ensures that training aligns with SOPs and regulatory requirements. They also verify training effectiveness through audits and competency assessments, and coordinate retraining when procedures or regulations change. This centralized approach helps prevent gaps in understanding and ensures consistent application of GLP across studies. While biosafety, HR, and occupational health and safety have important roles—biosafety in handling hazards, HR in general personnel administration, and occupational health in worker safety—the GLP training responsibility specifically rests with QA because it ties training to quality systems, study integrity, and regulatory compliance.
