Digitalization, Occupational Safety High voltage results with the Quentic App Enersense

3 Mar 2023

As one of the leading renewable energy solutions providers in Northern Europe, excellent occupational safety is an essential part of Enersense’s success. However, with more than 2,000 employees working on site across five different countries, maintaining a strong health and safety culture hasn’t always been easy for the company. That’s why Enersense turned to Quentic to enhance its EHS management capabilities following a recommendation from a client. “Safety and quality plays a really big role in our business,” explains Erkki-Jussi Ojanen, Site Manager at Enersense. “We are a service company, and the health and safety side of our business has to be up to the same standard as we set for our highly-skilled technicians, working on demanding construction and installation projects.”

Enersense heard about Quentic from one of their clients, who was already seeing substantial improvements as a result of working with the EHS management expert. The Quentic App is largely used for safety, quality and progress reporting on project sites, very much in collaboration with other clients. This collaboration feature allows clients to see what is happening in real-time on their sites. Within Enersense, in addition to being used by site managers, a number of personnel working on site is using the solution too.

The physical-to-digital switchoverOne of the biggest cultural changes that Quentic has enabled at Enersense is the switch from physical to digital safety reporting. Previously, Enersense had managed all its safety documentation via printed forms, which resulted in difficulties acquiring the right papers for inspections, and then also made the processing documentation more time consuming than needed.

Transitioning to the Quentic App greatly reduced the number of steps required to conduct safety inspections and file the subsequent reports. This has been a particularly welcome change for staff members out in the field, who previously experienced difficulties in acquiring the correct paperwork quickly and easily. Quentic has radically simplified this process for many at Enersense.

“Safety reporting is no longer just taking place in the office.” Erkki-Jussi Ojanen explains. “The Quentic solution is cloud-based, so all data is stored in one place, meaning our staff can upload and access information wherever they are.” In addition, the speed at which safety checks can be submitted through smartphones or tablets has freed up Enersense employees to devote more time to other aspects of their work.

Safety made simpleOne thing that was very important to Enersense when rolling out the app was that the technology could be easily used by its workforce. The Quentic App more than fulfils this requirement, being very simple to operate, and offering in-app assistance for nearly all aspects of EHS management forms at the click of a button. Also, the fact they can complete a form in real time while conducting a site visit makes it easier than ever to report back with information that is accurate to the minute. And not only that: the quality of information coming through has also improved. Enersense is already reporting more comprehensive safety observations, quicker responses to reported problems, and better benchmarks for measuring safety improvements.
