News Spotlight Cadent and QEM: Hydrogen’s Critical Moment

Energy, and the question of where we get it, has never claimed as many column inches as it does now. Climate change is an increasingly urgent concern, while war in Ukraine has, at the same time, made the whole of Europe rethink every aspect of its energy landscapes. This is a critical moment to be working in the industry.

Factsafe

Factsafe enables field operatives to save timestamped and geo-located evidence of critical project events using mobile devices.

Managing Safe Systems of Work has always been a labour-intensive activity involving various different records.

Historically, records required to ensure safety have been recorded in different systems, only to be cross referenced during a spot-check or audit process or when an issue is identified and investigated.

Most organisations record inspections and audits in two primary formats;

  • Hand writing onto printed checklists and then typing them up prior to submittal to the Line manager or Project Delivery Engineer
  • Recording them in iAuditor during the inspection / audit.

Whilst both of these approaches have their benefits, there are obvious challenges and missed opportunities for utilizing the data that is collected.

Each time a checklist is completed, the data is used for a singular purpose, i.e to rectify a singular issue identified on a project. Due to the complexity of the audits/ checklists it is not easy to quantify which processes are improving and which processes require work.

This can make it difficult to utilize the data to its full potential identifying trends and complexities in audited processes.
In addition to this, completing the checklists on site and then entering into a formal reporting format afterwards doubles up on resource times and opens up the opportunity for transposing errors. 

Factsafe is our cloud based inspection / auditing software that enables engineers and inspectors to carry out inspections onsite in a more effective and efficient manner.

The system ensures that pre-determined checklists created are available onsite in “Fat Finger Apps” so that live data can be collected as and when the inspection is taking place.

In addition to this, all of the data collected is immediately available to the relevant authorised stakeholders.

 

The benefits of Factsafe are as follows:

  • Faster more accurate data collection
  • Timestamping of all data collected
  • Ability to take photos of all aspects being inspected
  • Immediate reporting once the Project Assurance Controller has saved and authorised the report
  • Immediate communicate of audit results to relevant stakeholders
  • Weighted scoring allocation for every checklist question
  • Ability to monitor trends in data across checklists and sites
  • RACI Incident reporting
