Document Control for Small and Medium Enterprises
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
Document Control for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including laboratory safety, internal auditing and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with document control, sample handling and chain of custody and method validation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where document control is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against good laboratory practice
- Make a decision about sample handling and chain of custody without waiting for a specialist
- Explain method validation to someone who does not do the work
- Review accreditation preparation and say plainly whether it is working
