prevention of cross-contamination, sample handling
errors and sampling inconsistencies; the sample
preservation methods for chemical and
microbiological analysis; the proper sample labelling,
chain of custody and traceability procedures; the
quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
requirements in water sampling, occupational health
& safety precautions, personal protective equipment
