The laboratory biorisk management standard is the first internationally recognised management standard to specifically address hazards associated with microbiological laboratories at all containment levels.
This two day course addresses the required skills to plan and conduct a laboratory biorisk management standard audit based on CWA 15793:2008. The course is designed for anyone
involved with such activities, whether new to the area of auditing, or more experienced auditors who are looking for concepts and examples specific to a laboratory environment.
Delegates will be encouraged to develop the audit skills through analysis and constructive self-criticism.
