Capptions' Safety Industry Insights

Steel is one of the strongest and most durable building materials. However, steel has one threat: corrosion. That’s where Van der Ende Steel Protectors Group comes in, they do maintenance on assets, from those of oil and gas companies to bridges and rail infra. They protect the steel from the impact of corrosion. Van der Ende is one of the largest Dutch specialists in protecting steel against corrosion. The family business started in 1929 and is one of the last of its kind in this specialised sector. 

Van der Ende has been a customer of Capptions since 2016, and we had the pleasure of interviewing Ilja Bangma, the HSEQ manager. 

The first step in becoming a safety leader in any industry is shifting away from paper and spreadsheet-based systems. Effective safety improvements can only be made with the speed, reliability, and analysis that only digital solutions can provide. Just ask yourself this, how would you manage if one of your processes fails or gets delayed? If you had a slight hesitation, then it’s probably a good idea to digitise your health and safety processes.
