Bulk Sample Analysis
with TEAMS software

Asbestos sample jobs are dealt with in two ways with TEAMS.

1.	Stand-alone sample job	... where a customer has brought in samples for analysis.
2.	Samples that have come from an asbestos survey	... carried out with mobileTEAMS.

 

1. STAND-ALONE SAMPLE JOB This type of sample job involves samples supplied directly by a customer or client where an asbestos survey has not taken place with mobileTEAMS. Via this method, a new stone-alone sample job is created with the number of samples, sample descriptions and any site references entered into TEAMS before the samples are sent to the lab for analysis. Options for classification and turnaround can also be specified here. The appropriate number of Sample Analysis sheets are produced automatically for use in the lab while the analysis is taking place.

2. SAMPLES FROM AN ASBESTOS SURVEY When samples requiring analysis are from an asbestos survey performed with mobileTEAMS, the bulk sample job reads the survey information, pulls out the sample details along with any related site references and notes, and sets the job up automatically ready to receive the results. All of this process is done automatically as soon as the surveyor transfers the survey from mobileTEAMS.

RECORDING YOUR OBSERVATIONS

Either with a touchscreen or with a mouse, lab technicians can use TEAMS to track and record sample observations as they perform the analysis in the lab.

EQUIPMENT SYSTEM INTEGRATED: The TEAMS lab system is also tied into the equipment tracking system so the microscope, stereoscope, glove box even storage box the technician use are recorded automatically with the analysis.

AND THE RESULTS ARE...

Once the samples have been analysed, the results are automatically stored against the samples along with the technician who performed the analysis, the sample classification if required and any appropriate notes.

FINAL APPROVAL

Before the bulk sample analysis report can be produced, the results must be approved by the approving officer. Once approved, the signature of the approver is applied to the report and time stamped.

COMPLETED BULK SAMPLE REPORTS

Once the approval process is completed, the report is moved automatically to the completed sample reports section. All reports can be generated again at any point by simply clicking the PDF icon next to the completed report.
