Dokterhoe grows alongside international colleagues

Umcs employ staff from all corners of the world, including physicians, researchers, nurses and other professionals who sometimes speak better English than Dutch – and who, like everyone else, want to work safely and healthily. Are you one of these international colleagues? Then we have good news: Dokterhoe is serving you better and better. Recently, several occupational health and safety topics have been updated and immediately translated into English. Dokterhoe now offers information on the topics:

• Hazardous substances
• Physical strain
• Transgressive behavior
• Workload
• Impactful events
• Night work
• Infection prevention

Did you know that...

• Hazard pictograms are the most searched term on Dokterhoe and that there is an English-language video about working with hazardous substances.
• Bending, stooping, squatting, and kneeling correctly is not self-evident for everyone, given the large number of clicks on this topic.
• Night work can be meaningful, but it requires proper attention to ensure it can be done safely and sustainably. Night work is the latest occupational health and safety topic on Dokterhoe.

More topics will be translated in the coming period, providing you with practical information on how to work safely and healthily in your umc.
