Samen Gezond Bouwen

What Samen Gezond Bouwen does

Samen Gezond Bouwen (SGB), headquartered in Lichtenvoorde, Netherlands, and formed in 2021, is a collaborative partnership network that delivers occupational health services to the Dutch Bouw & Infra (construction and infrastructure) sector. The organization coordinates Bouw & Infra opleidingsbedrijven (training companies), multiple arbodiensten (Arbodienst Richting, 2grip, Peijnenburg Verzuimbegeleiding, Master Arbo, Alpina@Work), construction physicians (bouwartsen), medical assistants, and DIA advisors under one umbrella. Its core products are the Periodiek Arbeidsgezondheidskundig Onderzoek (PAGO), Duurzame Inzetbaarheidsanalyse (DIA), and Intredekeuring (entry examinations), supported by workplace research, lifestyle coaching, preventive and vocational training, and specialized periodic examinations (GPO).

SGB operates as an authorized partner of Volandis, the sector institute that administers the CAO Bouw & Infra Individugerichte Preventiezorg package, and is therefore the executive layer for CAO-mandated preventive health services. The organization does not develop proprietary technology; its operating model is a coordinated clinical service network that runs examinations at the familiar physical locations of construction training companies nationwide. From 2024, SGB introduced a self-serve employer scheduling platform that allows Bouw & Infra employers to directly plan employee PAGO and DIA examinations, supplementing the historically assisted planning model.

Revenue mechanics are CAO-driven: all core services are provided free at point of use to both employees and employers, with costs funded through the collective labor agreement Bouw & Infra administered by Volandis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is hybrid — direct to employers via the self-serve scheduling tool and physically through the nationwide opleidingsbedrijf network, with on-site employer delivery as an alternative. Marketing relies on organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), educational video content embedded on the company website, and referral channels through Volandis and training-company contact persons.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• PAGO (Periodiek Arbeidsgezondheidskundig Onderzoek) A work-related periodic occupational health examination consisting of a questionnaire, medical examination (measuring height, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, lung function, eyes, ears, and ECG for those over 40), and an advisory conversation with a construction physician to discuss test results and follow-up actions. Targeted at Dutch Bouw & Infra workers covered by the CAO Bouw & Individugerichte Preventiezorg package.
• DIA (Duurzame Inzetbaarheidsanalyse) A Sustainable Employability Analysis conducted as an integrated part of the PAGO examination, involving a conversation with a Volandis DIA advisor to discuss how to work and continue working with pleasure and in a healthy manner, resulting in a personal action plan. Targeted at Dutch Bouw & Infra workers covered by the CAO package.
• Intredekeuring (Entry Examination) Entry examinations for candidate employees starting in the Bouw & Infra sector for the first time or after a long absence, particularly for positions with special health and safety risks on construction sites.
• GPO (Gerichte Periodieke Onderzoeken) Specialized periodic examinations for work activities with special health risks, such as asbestos work, work under excess pressure, or work with two-component PUR materials.
• Werkplekonderzoek (Workplace Research) Workplace investigation conducted by construction physicians that provides insight into occupational risks at the workplace itself, enabling identification of patterns between complaints observed in the clinic and physical load in practical situations. Provided free of charge by Volandis.
• Leefstijlbegeleiding (Lifestyle Coaching) Lifestyle guidance and coaching services for Bouw & Infra employees, addressing personal health concerns and work-related stress, offered as follow-up actions from PAGO examinations.
• Preventieve en Vaktechnische Scholing (Preventive and Vocational Training) Preventive training programs and vocational/technical courses for construction workers, including courses such as 'Invloed op Fysieke Belasting' (Influence on Physical Load), combining PAGO, DIA, and training at a single training-company location.
• Arbospreekuur (Occupational Physician Consultation Hour) Company physician consultation hour where Bouw & Infra employees can ask for advice about occupational risks, preventive measures, and health without the employer being notified.
• Duurzame Inzetbaarheid Training (Sustainable Employability Training) Educational program for apprentice workers developed specifically for the construction industry, preparing them through theoretical and practical training for a future where they can practice their trade healthily and sustainably.

Quantifiable outcome

• Small workplace adjustments can significantly reduce chronic complaints — e.g., correcting mouse grip and sitting posture eliminated chronic neck complaints for a knowledge worker; lifting material in a less strenuous posture relieved 15 years of neck complaints for a skilled worker.

Regional players

• Stigas: Dutch sector institute for occupational health, safety, and employability in the agricultural green sector — the structural analog to Volandis for agriculture. Operates the same 'sector institute authorizes CAO-funded preventive health services' model that SGB implements inside Bouw & Infra, making it the closest comparable in institutional design (different vertical).
• Constructing Better Health (UK): UK charity coordinating occupational health standards and services specifically for the construction sector — the international analog to SGB's Bouw & Infra-focused occupational health mandate. Comparable as a sector-anchored preventive-health coordinator serving construction workers, although operating under a different funding and regulatory framework.

Others

• Volandis: The Dutch sector institute for Bouw & Infra occupational health and the grantor of SGB's authorized-partner status. Not a direct competitor — Volandis sets policy and contracts SGB and other partners to execute — but is the central counterparty whose mandate defines SGB's service catalog and revenue base.
• Bouwend Nederland: The Dutch employers' association for the construction and infrastructure sector. Functions as a customer/endorser of SGB rather than a competitor, but is the principal industry body that defines sector-wide labor and health policy and channels employer feedback on PAGO/DIA programs.
• Opleidingsbedrijven Bouw & Infra (e.g., Bouwmensen): The nationwide network of Bouw & Infra construction training companies that serves as SGB's physical delivery infrastructure. They are channel partners and access points rather than competitors, but their facilities, equipment, and regional footprint are what give SGB its distribution advantage.

Broad incumbents

• ArboNed: One of the largest Dutch occupational health service providers, serving employers across all sectors with arbodienst, absenteeism management, and workplace health offerings. Comparable to SGB in occupational health delivery (PAGO-style medical examinations, lifestyle coaching, workplace research), but broader in sector reach and not specialized in construction.
• Arbo Unie: Major Dutch occupational health provider offering medical examinations, lifestyle programs, and workforce health advice to employers nationwide. Comparable in core occupational health offerings (periodic examinations, employability analyses, workplace research) but diversified across all industries rather than anchored to Bouw & Infra.
• HumanTotalCare (Zorg van de Zaak): Dutch occupational health and PEO-style employer services provider, now part of Mercer, delivering arbodienst, absenteeism coaching, and workplace health to employers across sectors. Comparable in the bundled occupational-health plus employee-lifecycle service model SGB delivers through its multi-arbodienst umbrella.
