Discover an interesting webinar that focuses on risk mitigation and preparedness planning in laboratory operations.
The types of disruptive challenges faced by laboratory operations during the COVID-19 pandemic are not unique to that pandemic. They can also occur because of a natural disaster, workplace accident or pandemic caused by an entirely unrelated virus such as the recent headline-grabbing H5N1 influenza.
Before these and other possible disruptions impact the ability to maintain lab operations, it is necessary to learn from the pandemic and reduce risk by preparing contingency plans that ensure business continuity.
Even during normal operations, research laboratories and other scientific operations must factor many different variables into their planning approach, including but not limited to maintaining laboratory quality standards, ensuring adequate laboratory staffing, addressing personnel onboarding and training needs and emergency response planning.
Effective contingency planning, however, requires such organizations to also consider the impact of factors such as possible materials shortages, infrastructure limitations and their internal capacity for project review, approval and oversight. Additionally, leadership is challenged to take a risk-based approach to identifying and mitigating issues associated with biosafety, biosecurity and — even in some cases — animal care, all of which can have a devastating impact on operations if not adequately addressed.
By preparing contingency plans that account for these many variables and then implementing best practices to prepare for them, organizations can improve their resilience in the face of broad-scale disruptions while also improving day-to-day operations to best serve the customers who rely on their work. This webinar will provide attendees with the tools they need to initiate contingency planning and prepare their organizations for the future.
