Ukens leder – 24.11.202
Hei,
Forrige uke deltok jeg på et to-dagers «HMS kurs for ledere ved UiB». Dette var et nyttig og lærerikt kurs for min del. Jeg har jobbet på BIO i flere år, men her fikk jeg mange nye perspektiver, og ikke minst et overblikk over hvordan det jobbes systematisk og grundig med HMS på UiB.
Hello,
Last week I attended a two-day “HSE course for leaders at UiB.” This was a useful and educational course for me. I have worked at BIO for several years, but here I have gained many new perspectives and, not least, an overview of how HSE work is carried out systematically and thoroughly at UiB.
Test – automated translation of Bionytt
Dear all,
as there is now a built-in translation option in most [all?] browsers, we will this week omit the English translation of Bionytt. This will save editing time and not least reduce the requirement for data storage and processing by 50%. For now, we have kept the English version of the editorial, but in the same window as the Norwegian version. Just scroll down to read.
To see the translated version of the newsletter, simply right click and chose «Translate to English» from the pop-up menu. You may have to repeat the procedure once you have clicked into a specific article.
