GAIN Working Paper n°44 - Nourishing the Workforce: Nutrition Integration in Occupational Safety and Health Regulations
- 28/11/2024
This report presents objective findings on the current levels of nutrition integration in international instruments and guidelines, and national legislations, regulations and procedures. Nutrition is only integrated in a few examples.
