Advanced Laboratory Safety
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into equipment calibration, non-conformance management and the judgement calls that sit outside ISO 17025. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, supplier qualification and method validation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where proficiency testing is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against ISO 17025
- Make a decision about supplier qualification without waiting for a specialist
- Explain method validation to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of internal auditing rather than escalating it
