A

External (Laboratory Assessment)

41
Q

The unabbreviated term for EQA’s.

A

External Quality Assessment

42
Q

This includes the opportunities for improvement (OFIs), stakeholder feedback, problem resolution, risk assessment, preventive and corrective actions.

A

Process Improvement

43
Q

This includes the customer group identification, customer needs, and customer feedback.

A

A

Ergonomics

46
Q

This is includes policies and procedures to prevent workers and visitors from harm.

A

Safety

47
Q

This seeks to minimize risks and prevent hazards from leaving the labortory space and causing harm.

A

Containment

48
Q

This is the process of preventing unwanted risks and hazards from entering the laboratory.

A

Security

49
Q

This is what implementing laboratory quality management doesn’t guarantee.
