To ensure a new facility’s equipment is properly operated, utilized, and maintained, an organized and well-planned training program is required. Although a primary function of the contractor and vendor, it often falls to the CxA to establish, monitor, and document the training program. Creating a training program begins with design specs and follows through test and documentation completion.
