ESPReL-Standard Assessor Training
The rationale behind the ESPReL-Standard Assessor Course is the need to develop personnel into individuals who can assess and certify the safety of laboratories in line with ESPReL standards. This enhancement of employee potential will facilitate continuous development and elevation of research labs thus securing the provision of labs that meet safety standards for all relevant units. It will also result in systematic safety standard development for labs, operations monitoring and checking which align with the performance agreement between Mahidol University and the relevant units, and also acceptance between safe lab groups.
