Managing Laboratory Safety
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers sample handling and chain of custody and document control 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 corrective and preventive action, non-conformance management and accreditation preparation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about corrective and preventive action without waiting for a specialist, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Improve non-conformance management within their own organisation
- Explain accreditation preparation to someone who does not do the work
- Spot where supplier qualification is failing before it becomes a finding
