napo bonne santeIn this new film, Napo – who has the power to travel in time – explores both the past and the future, revealing the key factors for healthier and more productive workplaces against the backdrop of an ageing labour force.

From ergonomic positions to suitable lifting procedures, and including workers’ training at all ages and initiatives to return to the workplace, Napo shows us the importance of risk management throughout the working life.
