FAQ about CD Integrated Quality Assurance:

·         Who is responsible for quality of your work? You, with the input from your line manager. You can contact the QAR (Bakul) any time if you have any questions or clarifications.

·         How do you ensure that the work you do achieves the expected results? Look for requirements associated with the final work product you produce and make sure that you are achieving the expected results.

·         Do you know the practices and written procedures that apply to the work you do? You probably know it. However, if unsure, please ask your line manager.

·         The level of controls applied to your work is determined by Fermilab’s Graded Approach principle. Do you know what the term Graded Approach means? Ask your line manager. You may also consult Fermilab’s Graded Approach procedure given below.

·         Trained and qualified employees are essential to every team doing quality work. It is the responsibility of the line managers to assure that their team members are fully trained. Fermilab line managers use the ITNA process to identify the training requirements (not just ESH training) and TRAIN system is used to schedule and document training completions.
