Moreover, consumers are increasingly concerned about manufacturers’ environmental issues.

Twelve scenarios of …
The Effect Of The 'Tendency To Report Injuries' On Minor Accident Statistics, James A. Barker
The Effect Of The 'Tendency To Report Injuries' On Minor Accident Statistics, James A. Barker
Masters Theses
This study is concerned with the effect of the "tendency to report injuries" on minor accident statistics.

The hypothesis to be tested in this thesis is: The tendency to report injuries has no significant effect on the systematic variance in reported injuries between two successive one-year exposure intervals.
