Analytical Chemistry Practice for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers reagent management and sample handling and chain of custody from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with quality management systems, equipment calibration and corrective and preventive action in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about quality management systems without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 9001
- Bring equipment calibration into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of corrective and preventive action rather than escalating it
- Review laboratory design and say plainly whether it is working
