Farnek Services Ryan Mitchell, Farnek’s head of Quality, Health, Safety, Excellence and Wellbeing (QHSEW), was a speaker at the recent ‘Revolutionising Health and Safety Auditing through Digitalisation’ forum in Dubai.
Organised to raise awareness of how digitalisation can assist health and safety auditors, the forum presented tools and mobile apps, and explored how they are transforming the HSE auditing community globally.
Mitchell, along with other panelists, spoke about core areas where a more digital mindset can be applied to improve HSE delivery. He also introduced the company’s SAFETEK digital safety management platform which was developed in-house and overcomes some of the challenges associated with adopting a more predictive approach to HSE.
Mitchell explains: “Our cloud and mobility-based solution was built specifically to digitalise the auditing process, including reporting, to work towards a safer workplace. SAFETEK includes reporting times and data analysis to provide insights for preventative action.
“SAFETEK reduces downtime and ensures business continuity, which can lead to cost savings for organisations through reduced accidents, better resource allocation, and improved efficiency – not to mention a safer workplace”.
The event attracted attendees from regulatary bodies across the UAE, including Raed Al Marzooqui, Manager of Studies & Systems at Dubai Municipality, Dr Waddah Ghanem Al Hashmi, Chairman of the Federal Committee for Occupational Safety & Health and Binu Kalarickan, Director of Health, Safety and Environment at Ras Al the Khaimah Economic Zone Authority – Government of Ras Al Khaimah.
Other participants came from ADNOC, DP World, Emirates, Emirates Global Aluminum, DAMAC and Dubai Holding.
