Tech/Engineering - Management
English term or phrase: lowest quartile
Hola, no sé como traducir el término en cuestión en el siguiente contexto. Estoy buscando un término que se utilice en España y que, a poder ser, no sea demasiado técnico de estadística, porque la traducción es de prevención de riesgos laborales. Os agradezco la ayuda.
