Mushrooms,
I am not sure what you are asking for. We use GMP audits to verify that all employees are following our guidelines. Once a shift a QA member walks through, just observing people working on the floor. If anyone needs reminders, they document if for follow up.

What products are you producing? I would look at your GMP SOP and ask questions based upon what you require employees follow
The questions I ask - on a form that contains multiple items so not just a GMP form. Also relevant to our GMP policy states/employees need to follow.

Personnel hygiene is assessed a few different ways.
We include observations of GMP compliance in our operational sanitation inspections performed three times per shift for all production areas, and in a couple of specific areas where gloves or garments are more likely to be damaged or soiled we have a second inspector doing checks between breaks.
We have some operational micro testing of frocks and gloves, as well as hands after handwashing, to verify and validate cleaning and training programs.
Thank you guys for responding me.
I am asking about the monthly Audit that we follow on site that is personal hygiene audit.
We are mushroom manufacturers so its mandatory to check me the nails are trimmed properly, No jewellery is worn?
the area is clean?
no foreign objects present in the areas , no prohibited item ?? etc etc
So basically i am asking for the check list if any one can send me a soft copy here.
Appreciate your response.
