At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to:


Intended Audience

The intended audience for this course is any professional who is involved in the site investigations of hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste sites.


Benefit to Attendees

Attendees of this course will understand the data quality assurance requirements for any site investigation involving hazardous, toxic and radioactive sites.


Course Introduction

The goals of a chemical data quality management (CDQM) program are to: 1) generate data of acceptable quality for the intended use; 2) satisfy the needs of the customer and the regulators; 3) generate sufficient data of known quality on the first attempt; and 4) provide an historical record for potential future use. When a CDQM program is used properly, the project manager can readily measure the success of the team in meeting the project-specific data quality objectives (DQOs).

This course will assist any project manager in understanding the quality assurance requirements for a site investigation involving hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste sites.
