Compliance Office
The Compliance Office ensures the institute’s compliance to regulations and norms related to its activities. The team supports the researchers on a daily basis helping them to reach excellence by bringing added-value in their activities.
Activities
The Compliance Office's activities help the institute fulfilling its mission and meeting the expectations of its stakeholders, while supporting the researchers’ activities.
The ISO 9001 certification awarded in 2013 to part of LIH’s units and services is an acknowledgement of the institute’s commitment to quality management.
In that framework, the unit is responsible for the development of LIH’s Quality Management System (QMS), which drives the institute towards continuous improvement by increasing research reliability and action efficiency.
The respect of good laboratory practices, the implementation of appropriate processes as well as the “Plan, Do, Check, Act method” are as many key QMS tools in developing the performances of LIH’s research.
To foster the institute’s attractiveness and increase the number and diversity of LIH’s partners, the Quality team also supports the research units in the development of new standards such as GCP (Good Clinical Practices) or ISO 17025 (general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories).
Additionaly, the Compliance Office team’s mission includes overseeing the general health and safety of the institute’s collaborators and developing awareness of the risk raised by their activities. The unit also takes the appropriate preventive measures to minimize the impact of LIH’s activities on the environment.
