- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Labelling and Packaging programme and this is one of its steps

Not for
- Good Manufacturing Practice Training, which covers hygiene, clothing, jewellery, personal habits and behaviour in production areas.
- HACCP Training, which covers hazard analysis, critical control points, monitoring and corrective action.
