Indfak2
Getting started with IndFak2, old habits have to be "forgotten" and new habits to be learned. For example, when you as the requestor receive an invoice, DO NOT press "bekræft varemodtagelse” (confirm receipt of goods) - press "videresend” (forward)  and then select the appropriate person. The economics department is working on a solution of this inappropriateness. See also instructions here:

A green Smiley from WEA (the Danish Working Environment Authority)
After inspections at Geoscience, the WEA found that our health and safety conditions are in order, and we will have a Green Smiley published on the WEA homepage. indicating that we have no issues with the Working Environment Authority.
The smiley is valid for 5 years unless, in the meantime, we are ordered to clear some problem, and will only be extended by a new inspection.
