Tuesday 27 April 2010 –‘measuring is knowledge’ and reducing illness-related absenteeism
The Nederlands Nationaal Seminar [Dutch National Seminar] will demonstrate that the 'measuring is knowledge' principle is being picked up by the cleaning industry thanks to the application of smart sensor technologies and the remote, online monitoring of locations.
During the second discussion forum on the 'power of the cleaning industry' Chris Cracknell, Andreas Lill, Hans Sanders and Paul Stöver will demonstrate how essential a clean working environment is to reducing absenteeism due to illness.

During the pandemic seminar, Thea Daha, Stephanie Dancer and John Rigalsford will – on the basis of their own experiences – show how hygiene in the hospital and food industries is the best way to prevent a pandemic.
