While initially disappointed that our ePermit Electronic Permit Solution did not win the Energy Innovation Centre’s best safety innovation award last week, our disappointment was somewhat diluted by the strength of the winner; Scott’s Plant Hire DigaDoc trailer.
Like all great innovation, the DigaDoc is both simple and brilliant and addresses a real world need. Trailers that builders use to transport mini diggers and other assorted small plant have always worried us; flat beds without lights, some tied down with ropes, some not... Little wonder there are accidents! So the DigaDoc is a real solution for a real problem and we wish Scott’s all the luck, they thoroughly deserve it.
Like the DigaDoc, our own entry - an advanced permitry solution - was a real answer to a real problem; how to get hundreds, if not thousands of men out to work safely with a minimum of downtime. In an industry where health and safety is paramount but where increasing costs are undermining the very fabric of the oil and gas industry, ePermit is a real solution for its time.
So if you want to transport your small plant safely, look no further than the DigaDoc. If you want an accident and incident free site culture and a project delivered on time and in budget, you know who to call.
