Laboratory Health and Safety

How to Integrate Occupational Safety and Health into Your ISO/IEC 17025 system

Health & safety management systems are important because they introduce discipline and structure into the identification of hazards and the prevention of harm. They should always be considered an integral part of your laboratory's total management system.

This two-day course is related directly to the laboratory situation and is structured around the requirements of the New Zealand Health & Safety in Employment Act, 1992. This Act requires you to have undertaken all practicable steps to prevent accidents or illness to your people.

At the end of the programme, you will be able to:

  • Understand the requirements of the Act
  • Understand health & safety principles
  • Identify and evaluate health and safety hazards
  • Prepare action plans to reduce hazards
  • Begin implementing a health & safety system
  • Integrate your health & safety system with your quality management system.

The course is led by Dr. Max Robertson, Retired General Manager Accreditation Services, International Accreditation New Zealand. Dr Robertson has over 20 years in the analytical fields of environmental, health and safety, food, water, forensic and toxicological science.
