Digitalisation of occupational safety and health (OSH) management has helped to reinforce OSH preventive culture at Gonvauto Iberia, an automotive manufacturing company in Spain. Workers at the plant often failed to report safety risks and undue time was spent resolving safety-related actions and incidents. To address this, a series of easy-to-use mobile apps was created. For example, safety inspection, work permit and stowage apps have improved efficiency and traceability. Other apps and digital workshops get workers actively involved in reporting risks and proposing solutions.
Gonvauto Iberia aims to significantly improve its safety culture by creating a range of digital tools that facilitate documentation and get operators and supervisors more involved in OSH management.
A series of apps was developed internally using tools available in a common productivity software package. They focus on improving workplace safety and involve all departments. Training in the use of the apps is provided to workers in the form of digital workshops, and participation is strongly encouraged.
The apps have the following advantages:
• They can be accessed from any mobile, tablet or computer.
• They are straightforward to use. • Workers are involved in their development.
