**Note - For every course we have implemented live stream remote attendance options for those who prefer a no-contact alternative to in-person attendance. You will need a computer and an internet connection. We will follow the maximum in-person meeting size as per health authorities, and if recommended we will only offer remote attendance.
If conditions permit, you are welcome to attend the course live, we likely will have between 5 to 10 in-person attendee's in a large room to provide safe spacing. We also wipe every surface down and provide hand washing and disinfectant wipes as a courtesy. If you would like more information or have any questions, please contact us via email or phone 425 270 3274.
This two-day course is designed for individuals and/or organizations performing field sampling of environmental media including soil and other solids; surface and groundwater; sediment; indoor and ambient air; solid and hazardous waste; and chemicals of commerce for the analysis of a broad range of analytical methods as established by a variety of regulatory and standards organizations.
Day one will include a full-day in a classroom with lectures discussing sampling methodology and theory; techniques and procedures; health and safety concerns; documentation and deviations; handling and preservation; equipment and supplies; and field quality assurance procedures.
The second day will consist of a half-day of lecture in the classroom discussing issues associated with laboratory techniques and processes, analytical measurement, and data reporting of sample results. The classroom portion will incorporate demonstrations and examples on certain points. The topics discussed are intended to provide an overview of sampling techniques and practices, and details of specific issues will be explored as time permits.
The field portion of the course will take place in the afternoon at a nearby location, and is designed to provide hands-on, practical experience executing some of the concepts reviewed in the classroom lessons. Attendees will apply learned methodology in the field. Equipment and supplies will be provided.
