In the home healthcare industry, staying compliant and knowledgeable is crucial for providing the best patient care and ensuring safety. At Applied Home Healthcare Equipment, we offer comprehensive training programs tailored to meet the needs of various professionals in the field. Here's a breakdown of who needs to attend which trainings, their purposes, and how you can get each one done with Applied. 

What’s Required and When? 

Within 90 Days of Hire 

If you have a new hire, you will need DOT training within 90 days!  The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requires cGMP training, too, before you can let your new filler out on their own. 

Every 3 years 

The US DOT requires that every employee receive three types of training at least every 3 years and within 90 days of the start of employment for new employees. The employees who should have this training are all drivers, loaders, and people in charge of the storage of oxygen cylinders for ANY amount of oxygen delivered (1 cylinder to over 1,001 lbs.). The three types of training are:  

• Job Specific Training 

• Safety training for hazardous material  

• HazMat Security Awareness Training  

Annually and Continuous 

Personnel training in Current Good Manufacturing Processes is required by law. (21 CFR 211.25) The Code of Federal Regulations and the FDA require that employees manufacturing, processing, packing, or handling the drug have this training as it relates to the employee's job function. This training must also be given on a frequent and continuing basis and be documented. A popular option for a variety of training are online classes in cGMP and our FDA Filling On-Demand Online Course Certifications.
