National Skills Standard for Working in a Cleanroom Environment
The National Skills Standard for Cleanroom Readiness addresses the skills and knowledge required of individuals who work inside cleanroom environments at the operational/frontline level. These individuals work in bio-manufacturing, including automatic, semi-automatic and traditional (manual) aseptic manufacturing processes. An individual in this role should be able to perform well in a highly structured and disciplined environment.
This standard provides a framework for BioTalent Canada’s practical assessment and eventual cleanroom certification. The practical assessment will enable candidates to build competencies for working in a cleanroom environment and help small- and medium-sized employers gauge whether the talent they’re hiring has the needed skills and abilities.
