Frequently asked questions
Why ALAB?
ALAB offers a new proposition in the laboratory sector. We emphasize efficiency by not using volunteer assessors. All our assessors are rewarded for their work and this results in a win-win situation - our clients win because response and reporting times are drastically reduced and our people win because they are able to be recompensed fairly for their time.
