Spain: Digitalisation of occupational safety and health management in automotive manufacturing

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 is one of the commended examples of the 16th Healthy Workplaces Good Practice Awards competition, which recognises successful prevention and management of risks linked to digitalisation in the workplace.
