Course Overview

This course provides in-depth training on Good Storage Practices (GSP), a critical component of quality systems for the safe storage and handling of regulated products. GSP ensures that goods are stored under controlled conditions, minimizing contamination, degradation, or mix-ups and supporting traceability throughout the supply chain. Aligned with WHO GSP guidelines, GDP principles, and national regulations, the course prepares participants to implement compliant warehousing operations, especially in pharma, food, cosmetics, and chemical sectors. It supports readiness for inspections by drug authorities, food safety bodies, or third-party certifiers.
