Fundamentals of Corrective and Preventive Action

Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Corrective and Preventive Action is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through equipment calibration and data integrity without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with corrective and preventive action, laboratory safety and technical record keeping in their own organisation.

Bring corrective and preventive action into line with current good practice, measured against ISO 17025
Review laboratory safety and say plainly whether it is working
