The question this week is "is API & ISO Running Small Business out of Business…?" And its a good one to ask. You'll be amazed to hear that like all other industries, the Quality Management Industry and Certification Bodies as all run and operated by, you guessed it people like you and me. While that is comforting to know, it can defiantly present certain challenges to you and how you run and maintain your organization.

The title says it all folks, Mask Wearing & COVID-19 – Risks, Benefits & Requirements. What are risks and what are the OSHA requirements? Listen in as we discuss the very relevant topic of Covid-19 and the use of mask. In this episode, we review some literature from different sources assessing N95, P95, surgical masks, and cloth/fabric/cotton masks. We are releasing today’s episode early in light of recent requirements in the state of Texas for masks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent increases seen in Texas. We start by sharing a rant from an OSHA 10 & 30 certified individual. He outlines the lack of efficacy of each category, N95, P95, surgical and cloth masks. He ends with the fact that not only are cloth masks not helpful, they could be more harmful. Then, we go into an article from UC San Francisco arguing for masks. The men interviewed share theories as to why the CDC released confusing information, first saying masks should not be worn by the public, then saying they should. Later, they share evidence they believe supports the efficacy of masks.

How to Standardize the fundamental QMS tool for operational excellence https://texasqa.com/well-defined-ncr-car/ I would argue that nonconformities and corrective actions are the foundations of an effective quality management system (QMS). They represent the “boots on the ground” problems of production and the efforts taken to resolve them. And when the overall purpose of NCR/CAR is lost in an organization, the quality management system (QMS) becomes ineffective, the excess paperwork becomes an obstacle to production, and can lead to resentment and eventually collapse of the QMS. Conversely, when the overall purpose is clear and internalized, the QMS functions as a structure for effective collaboration, continual improvement of the business, and objective success that extends past the scope of the QMS Texas Quality Assurance - where quality management gets simplified, saving time and energy for what matters most Learn more at https://texasqa.com | (281)756-7316 #QualityMatters podcast | https://qmcast.com | Because Quality Matters behind the desk, production floor, at home and beyond!
