supervising the work flow through the laboratory. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor will
maintain a safe work environment. The ICPMS
Metal Laboratory Supervisor will complete all safety training in accordance
with the schedule. The daily activities
for the person in this position will be to stage and organize work flow through
this laboratory. This will include both
the direct analysis of sample cylinders through the laboratory and also the
directing of the other chemists and laboratory technicians. The ICPMS Metal
Laboratory Supervisor will ensure that the schedule for testing is meet for the
analysis of cylinders in the laboratory. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor will be required to safely handle
cylinders in accordance with work instructions. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor will be required to troubleshoot
and maintain instruments in their respective laboratories. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor will
insure necessary spare parts are available for the continued operation of the
laboratory.
The ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor is responsible for
keeping the database up to date for tracking of cylinders through the
laboratory. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory
Supervisor is responsible for filling out and maintaining the laboratory
notebooks for each analysis and overseeing that the other chemists in the
laboratory are maintaining adequate records. As these are shared resources they must sign and date the
notebooks. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory
Supervisor will be responsible for keeping the productivity logs for the
laboratory that they are working in. The
ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor will be responsible for staging work in this
area on a daily basis to meet the minimum analysis requirements of the area so
that cylinders move through in an efficient and timely manner. The ICPMS Metal Laboratory Supervisor is
responsible for monitoring the productivity of the individual team members.
