UK-based Health & Safety specialists, Cresent, have been selected by MODEC do Brasil as their electronic Control of Work (e-CoW) provider, using Cresent’s WorkSafe® solution.
The contract involves all parts of Cresent’s business, including consultancy, project management, e-CoW software, e-learning, and classroom-based learning. The project will see WorkSafe® deployed initially on nine of MODEC’s vessels.
The WorkSafe® solution includes three core modules; Task Risk Assessment, Permit to Work and Energy Isolations, all of which MODEC will be implementing. The modules are interconnected to provide a comprehensive planning and risk management tool, ensuring that information can be easily accessed in an efficient way.
The decision by MODEC to move to an e-CoW system follows a significant upgrade to its system in 2018, which has provided a solid foundation for the e-CoW system to build upon.
The project kicked off in late April, with the project team meeting at MODEC’s offices in Rio de Janeiro over a three-day period, prior to MODEC’s visit to Cresent in early June.
