Questions, answered
Quality control checks that an individual analytical run is performing correctly, usually with control materials. Quality assurance is broader and covers all pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical processes. Quality management is the overall system, including policies, document control, audits, training and continual improvement.
Learn RACE for fire (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish or Evacuate) and PASS for using an extinguisher (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep). Know which extinguisher suits each fire type, for example carbon dioxide for electrical fires, and never use water on electrical or flammable-liquid fires. For a chemical splash to the eye, flush at an eyewash station for at least 15 minutes and seek medical review.
