Quality Assurance Notebook

A notebook that contains documentation of quality assurance activities related to accurate weighing and measuring is a valuable tool. Once established this notebook should be kept in a permanent location near the weighing and measuring equipment. The notebook would be maintained on a regular basis as training, maintenance, and calibration activities are entered. Measurers would record data from training sessions and equipment calibration efforts. This data would then available for measurers' self-monitoring of their accuracy and various certification activities, such as JCAHO.

The Quality Assurance Notebook should contain:
	Information related to appropriate equipment needed for accurate weighing and measuring
		Equipment Checklists
	Information related to equipment calibration and maintenance
		Equipment Maintenance Recording Form
		Calibration Recording Form
	Information related to appropriate measurement techniques
		Measurement Technique Checklist
	Information related to maintaining measurement skills
		Measurement Training Sessions for Measurers
		Training Skill Session Data Recording Form
