En el pasado las empresas han utilizado modelos de gestión como el Control Total de Perdidas o el modelo DuPont para gestionar la seguridad en el trabajo. Sin embargo a partir del éxito de las normas ISO 9000, las empresas empezaron a demandar modelos de carácter internacional, fácilmente integrables con ésta. Al no desarrollarse una norma ISO 18000, han proliferado normas y modelos para todo el mundo (UNE 81900-EX, Guía BS 8800, AS/NZS 4804, VPP, Directrices de la UE, JISHA, etc.). Para terminar con esta situación se han publicado las Directrices de la OIT para la gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo y la especificación técnica OHSAS 18001 con el propósito de facilitar la integración con los sistemas de gestión de la calidad (ISO 9001) y del medio ambiente (ISO 14001). En este libro se presentan los principales modelos, normas, guías y directrices comentados anteriormente, analizando sus características, ventajas e inconvenientes. Por tanto este documento puede suponer una excelente herramienta de orientación para aquellos profesionales y consultores que se encuentran implicados en el proceso de integración del sistema de gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales a partir de al certificación de sus sistemas de calidad o el medio ambiente, así como para aquellos estudiantes de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales y de Auditorías de los sistemas de Prevención. INDICE: La gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales. Los modelos tradicionales: el control total de pérdidas y el modelo Dupont. Normas, guías y modelos antecedentes de la OSHAS 18001 y las directrices de la OIT. La especificación técnica OSHAS 18001 y las directrices de la OIT. Los sistemas integrados de gestión: Gestión de la calidad total y gestión de la seguridad total. Vocabulario Inglés-Español de gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales.

After three volumes presenting the desolate scenario of corruption around the world, volume 4 (of the four-volume reference) focuses on anti-corruption strategies, including a wide variety of approaches that illustrate the scale and difficulty of the task and offer no simple answers. Twenty-nine articles discuss general issues, control via codes of conduct and legal and formal means, anti-corruption measures in civil service and government agencies, prevention and sanctions, people and reform, and whistleblowing. The articles (reproduced in facsimile) are from journals such as Comparative Politics, Crime, Law, and Social Change, Corruption Reform, and European Journal of Development Research. Editors Williams (politics, U. of Durham, UK) and Doig (public services management, Liverpool John Moores U., UK) made the selections. The volume is not indexed, except by name. c. Book News Inc.

This Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) Manual was developed during three-and-a-half years of continuous work, involving the United Nations Children's Fund education staff and specialists from partner agencies working on quality education. It benefits from fieldwork in 155 countries and territories, evaluations carried out by the Regional Offices and desk reviews conducted by headquarters in New York. The manual is a part of a total resource package that includes an e-learning package for capacity-building in the use of CFS models and a collection of field case studies to illustrate the state of the art in child-friendly schools in a variety of settings.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
