Fundamentals of Laboratory Accreditation
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Laboratory Accreditation is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through equipment calibration and accreditation preparation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with laboratory safety, quality management systems and laboratory design in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about laboratory safety without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 9001
- Explain quality management systems to someone who does not do the work
