    From working with lab equipment, you’d be surprised how quickly results turn to unreliable slop if not consistently calibrated. Is that what you’re saying is being skipped?

    The article really didn’t do a good job of explaining. Would this be the equivalent of CAPP inspections where one lab will audit another?

      No, it’s making sure people still know how to do their jobs that will be paused. If you work in a lab you have to do regular periodic training and then be tested on your ability to execute to those standards. Those tests of the lab workers are being paused until they’re in the new location. This is actually pretty common.

        That kind of expense is meant to ensure standardized practices, correct?

        Trump thinks measure once cut once is more efficient.

          To some extent, but more so to ensure people actually absorbed the training.

          So if you train people on shitty practices, then they can pass their competency tests doing shitty things really well!

          The actual training (typically called SOPs - standard operating procedures / policies or some such thing) quality is generally what makes a bigger difference. Those are typically reviewed annually or on some timeline based on risk and volatility.
