• You ensure the proper functioning of technical installations and the safety of access points (ventilation of rooms, disinfection of containers, clearing passages)

• You maintain green spaces (tree and flowerbed care, hedge trimming, pond cleaning) in compliance with safety and hygiene instructions.
