Revised: 2 February 2012
The company generally employs staff and subcontractors capable of meeting the technical, skill, safety awareness, experience and educational requirements of the company's activities, both in the laboratory and in the field. However, no training provides familiarity with all possible methods, and where staff require extra training it is provided, either in-house (for specific tasks) or by providing registration in an approved training course or attendance at an appropriate professional development conference.
The matrix below covers the period from 1997 to the present. Training pre-dating that period may be recorded on individual staff members' resumes.
