The Netherlands: Reducing physically demanding work with technical and organisational adjustments in cleaning services

To reduce physical strain and prevent MSDs, the company has implemented a broad range of measures to improve working practices and conditions. Hago Next is one of the commended examples of the 15th Healthy Workplaces Good Practice Awards competition.
