How should you document a completed task in your PQS?

• A. By obtaining the required sign-off from the supervisor or designated sign-off authority and updating the PQS record.
• B. By noting it in a personal notebook.
• C. By emailing the PQS manager after every task.
• D. By performing the task again to confirm.

Answer: (A)

Completing a task in PQS is finalized through formal sign-off by the supervisor or designated sign-off authority and by updating the official PQS record. The sign-off confirms that someone with authority has reviewed the work and verifies that it meets the required standards and performance criteria. Updating the PQS record creates an auditable trail of progress and keeps the trainee’s qualification status current and properly documented. This official procedure ensures the task is recognized as completed for qualification purposes, not just noted informally. Using a personal notebook isn’t an official record, emailing after every task adds unnecessary overhead, and redoing the task to “confirm” is unnecessary once proper sign-off has occurred.
