NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio, May 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NaviGate by Lauren Innovations is pleased to announce a free webinar, Common Mistakes & Misconceptions of ISO Certifications, taking place Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. EST. During this one-hour webinar, attendees will learn about what being certified can provide, common mistakes made when implementing an ISO standard, and misconceptions of certification.
The webinar, which is sponsored by NaviGate, will be presented by Smithers Quality Assessments, an accredited third-party registrar, and will target small manufacturers, although the information is suited to any organization that is subject to audit. Attendees can register online by visiting the Lauren Innovations website at www.laureninnovations.com.
OSHA Compliance, ISO Audits, EPA regulations, fire codes, and workers' compensation merely skim the surface of the items to be managed on any given day. A single error in one piece of documentation is enough to lead to non-conformances during an audit. This one-hour educational webinar will touch on common mistakes, such as document/revision control, metric developments and lack of customer satisfaction tracking as well as the misconception that keeping these documents under control is too much work, or lacks value.
