Practical Application Of Safety And Quality In The Laboratory

It is very important to lab staff, Technicians, supervisors and managers to learn how to create the success in their lab. The course provides basic laboratory analysis methods for crude oil, hydrocarbon gas, and water. It is designed to provide an introduction and practical application of safety and quality in the laboratory. It is designed also to understand basics of lab analysis, how to apply quality standards, how to do health and safety risk assessments, how to develop the technical, and methods in the lab and how to evaluate the lab results.

The Training Course Will Highlight ?

Training Objective

The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for understanding laboratory technical, requirements of quality laboratory and procedure of safety methods. With enable the participants to provide an understanding of the roles of the quality and technical performance in the laboratory. Provide an understanding of the roles of quality standards, how to develop the technical, and methods in the analytical lab and how to evaluate the lab results.

Target Audience

The course is planned for, lab technicians, lab supervisors and chemists. The course is also designed for people who implement, maintain and review laboratory quality systems.
