    Abstract : Legislation demands that health and safety of humans at work must be secured. Today, far from every company has a functioning systematic management of occupational health and safety (OHS) in place to fulfill its legal obligations. Instead, other day-to-day tasks appear to have greater priority. READ MORE

  2. 2. Process management and sustainable development in a quality perspective : implementation and measurement related to small and medium sized enterprises
