Zero-emissions working

Technological advances in the infrastructure sector are moving at breakneck speed. But it's humans who have to work with these new technologies. New machines bring new ways of working and the associated risks. Think of maintenance, workshop layout, energy supply, and charging infrastructure, all the way to battery transport. Operating these machines effectively and efficiently requires attention. That's why governments are taking the lead in the transition to emission-free construction. Read more about it here!

Challenges

It's not just the technology that poses a challenge. A shift in work culture is needed, from client to contractor. Regulations regarding batteries and environmental management raise questions:

  • Who is responsible?
  • What is the responsibility of the client, what should the supervisor pay attention to?
  • What responsibility does the contractor have?
