There is a strong power in participatory action. The same thing applies if you want to improve ergonomics in a work environment. Getting people moving together works much better.

Industry, office, care or construction, etc. I find all sectors equally exciting.

In my projects, I aim to reduce absenteeism and increase productivity. Both workers and management have to feel comfortable in the workplace. I approach projects from a policy-based point of view and enjoy applying a multidisciplinary vision to my work.

I also enjoy exercise in my spare time. Spiced up with a touch of culture.

I focus on projects for the design, re-design and improvement of products and work environments. In doing so, I combine ergonomics and vitality. This makes it possible to tackle both the load and the capacity to handle that load, with emphasis on the physical, but also with an eye on the mental.

Processes for achieving improvement are based on in-depth analyses and measurement tests where appropriate. I then translate them into practical proposals and plans for improvement, purchasing advice and ongoing support for the in-house prevention adviser.

I also like to take a broad view of ergonomics. For instance, I have developed a multidisciplinary approach for ‘safety days’ in the construction industry that goes beyond conventional workshops. This approach can also be incorporated perfectly well into other sectors.
