Hello everyone, this is Jyoti Baweja. I'm a toxicologist, a certified Good Laboratory Practice Professional from India with an experience of around 23 years. I'm a GLP Consultant, Auditor as well as a Trainer on OECD series on principles of GLP. I'm also a member of the Society of Quality Assurance, United States. Today I will be talking about a very crucial topic which is Implementing a Risk-Based Approach in Good Laboratory Practice Quality Assurance Program.

Let's start with the agenda for today's session. It will be all about the three Ws and one H approach for risk management and quality assurance program. To begin with, what is risk? What is risk management? Why do we need to implement a risk based approach in quality assurance program? Who is responsible for implementing this approach? Lastly, how are we actually going to implement it? Which means, what should be the entire process for the implementation of a risk-based approach in a quality assurance program?

What is risk? According to OECD document number 23, risk may be defined as a combination of the probability of issues or problems occurring, the ability to detect them, and the impact these risks may have on the integrity and quality of data generated, and on the overall GLP compliance of the test facility, the studies conducted and the systems used. The keywords here, which we need to remember, are probability, detectability, and impact. By probability, we mean what is the likelihood that a particular activity or process might go wrong? Now, it can be determined by considering the implemented controls at the test facility, the personal knowledge, and the experience of the activity or process. Next, we have detectability. Detectability here means how likely is it that any issue or problem will be detected? In this case, it is important to remember that the detection must occur before the consequence of the risk, or before the failure state actually occurs. The third keyword here is impact or severity. Which means how severe will the consequences be, if that particular risk, issue, or problem occurs?
