Speakers at Pre conference course A. Auditing: a comprehensive and practical introduction

In 2012 Margot joined the GMO-inspection team of the Human, Environmental and Transport Inspectorate of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. Since then she inspected many companies and institutions that work with GMO under contained use or in field trials and medical trials.

Margot started working for the Inspectorate in 1998, where she covered various positions as an inspector in the area of waste management, water management and transportation of dangerous substances in underground pipelines. For this latter task she followed a training course “Auditor” from Det Norske Veritas in 2009, to audit the risk management systems of the chemical companies that owned these pipelines.She started her working career as an environmental inspector for the local government, township Wageningen being one of them. In this capacity she visited many laboratories for licensing and the inspection of design requirements for GMO-work. In those years she also worked as a fire fighter and mountain tour guide, both lifting her risk perception to another level.
