Scope

What are the basic software that should be in every computer used by the Risk Group (the research group lead by Jouni Tuomisto, Department of Environmental Health, KTL, Finland)? The selection should be based on the following criteria:

  1. The selection should ensure that a worker does not run into situation where the planned work cannot be done due to lack of software.
  2. The selection should be small enough to minimise updating and the need to learn new software.
  3. The software should be open source if available.

Definition

  • See recommendations by KTL: [1] [2].
