Employee training time length at blood centers

[thmdn]

Hi Everyone,

What would be considered an appropriate length of time for training a new employee coming to work in the lab performing viral marker testing on donor samples or someone coming to work in the hospital distribution department who will be taking blood orders and possibly initiating some quarantines?

If you currently work or have worked at a blood center (regardless of size), was there an established time limit for training, for example 3 months or 6 months, before the new employee was signed off and working independently ?

Any info will help,

Thanks
