• Investigate microbiological failures or abnormal results
• Identify root causes (raw material, process, environment, water, handling)
• Recommend corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
• Work directly with production and QA to enforce fixes

7. Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with: o Production (process hygiene control) o QA/QC (product release decisions) o Maintenance (equipment hygiene and sterilization risks)
• Provide microbiological input into operational decisions affecting product safety 8. Documentation & Reporting
• Maintain complete and audit-ready laboratory records
• Generate: o daily lab logs o weekly microbiological reports
