Minor updates have been made to FAQs G.1 and G.7 to include commonly searched keywords. The phrase “training should be documented” was added to FAQ G.1 (also better reflecting the language in the Guide) and the word “livestock” was added to the question text of FAQ G.7 to improve relevant search results when using the search function on the OLAW website. The overall guidance remains unchanged.
