Depending on organizational structure and the size of the laboratory, there may be specific personnel to oversee quality or it may be handled by a single individual or team composed of laboratory employees. However, all laboratory employees will participate at an appropriate level for their specific position and will provide and complete documentation as required by the overall quality system and specific QSE's that are included within that specific position.
Each laboratory employee should have appropriate knowledge and understanding of the Quality Management System that operates within the laboratory where he/she is employed. The employee should also be able to describe the components of the quality management system as it relates to specific job responsibilities. The management team will provide appropriate descriptive documentation in the form of policy/procedure/processes/forms specifically outlining necessary information for all QSE's.
Employees are responsible for reading, reviewing, and application of information in the QSE's as per the documentation and specifics provided for each individual job role that the employee fulfills.
