Joint adoption of ISO 14000-ISO 9000 occupational risk prevention practices in Spanish industrial companies: A descriptive study

This paper intends to analyse the advisability of combining the three management standards (quality, environment and risk prevention) in Spanish industrial companies, and also to study with which particular standards this combination is considered adequate. Besides, our objective is to study if aspects like the size of the company, the level of demand of the environmental legislation or the field of activity of the companies are elements that affect the tendency of the companies to integrate the standards.
