Laboratory Safety Auditing and Assurance
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether corrective and preventive action and technical record keeping are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with reagent management, supplier qualification and non-conformance management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put reagent management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against ISO 9001
- Make a decision about supplier qualification without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of non-conformance management rather than escalating it
