Proficiency Testing Auditing and Assurance
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether sample handling and chain of custody and root cause analysis 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 equipment calibration, laboratory safety and document control in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review equipment calibration and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 9001
- Make a decision about laboratory safety without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of document control rather than escalating it
- Put method validation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
