Laboratory Assessment and Sampling Practice is the first webinar organised by the AGS Laboratories Working Group, and will include presentations from Will Fardon (i2 Analytical), Geraint Williams (ALS) and John Powell (Geolabs). The event will be hosted by AGS Chair, Sally Hudson (Coffey Geotechnics).
In the webinar, our three guest speakers will investigate various aspects of sample submission, discussing best practice and guidance for how to get the most from the laboratory, the testing and some pitfalls to avoid.
Presentations will include Vapour Intrusion – approaches to assessment and Environmental Sample Submissions and Sample Deviations.
This CPD, virtual event will be of benefit to those with limited experience of sample submission, or for those who are looking to refresh knowledge and keep abreast of developments, changes to existing practices and raise questions that are affecting their current activities.
