This training session will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to become a Green Impacts Lab Accreditation (GILA) auditor, with full training provided by SOS UK. with breaks and self-study time built in.
Following the training, you will spend some time reviewing the GILA work of staff who work in wet labs at the university and preparing questions to ask. You will then meet with the staff where you can ask questions and make final decisions on your audit, before feeding your results back to us. It's a great opportunity to view real-world implementation of sustainability in the lab environment and workplace, and build new skills in communications, analysis and team work.
The audits will mostly be in person, with some online, from the afternoon on Tuesday 9 June until the afternoon on Thursday 11 June, so you can put your new training into action straight away.
