Introduction
It is very important to lab staff, Technicians, supervisors, and managers to learn how to create 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 the 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.
Objectives
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. By enabling 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.
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
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.
