| Abstract |
Topics such as quality control and occupational safety and health contribute towards ensuring a harmonious relationship between enterprises and their social, political and economic environment, particularly in an increasingly global economy. Certification systems concerning quality (ISO 9000) and environmental protection (ISO 14000) are key steps to ensuring international credibility, as are occupational safety and health measures. This book discusses some of the safety and health training aspects that are necessary in Latin America to face these demands, based on investigations carried out in Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. |
