Transforming Safety Management: Rocal Insulating Panels Redefines Efficiency with Qhub
Rocal Endurance Doors — Compliance manager
Automated workflows and digital dashboards provided real-time insights into safety data, reducing the time spent on manual tracking and increasing overall efficiency across departments. The company also found immediate value in accurate KPI tracking, which had been a significant challenge under their previous systems.
"Overall, the company has benefited a great deal from Qhub. We record and keep information much better and can find what we need much quicker. We have a better picture of accidents and their causes and are able to deal with them within 24 hours. The use of Qhub was instrumental in us gaining ISO 45001"
Rocal Insulating Panels, a leader in the construction materials industry, sought a more streamlined and modern approach to managing their Safety Management System (SMS). Relying heavily on paper-based processes and fragmented data systems, their workflows were time-consuming and error-prone. From accident reporting to tracking non-conformances (NCRs), inefficiencies were costing valuable time and resources. Determined to eliminate bottlenecks and enhance compliance, Rocal partnered with Qhub to revolutionise their health and safety operations.
The Challenges
Prior to adopting Qhub, Rocal Insulating Panels faced several persistent issues:
Inefficient Document Management: Lack of structure in file storage systems caused delays in locating and updating critical documents.
Time-Consuming Accident Reporting: Paper-based reporting processes led to delays in investigations and incomplete records.
Manual KPI Compilation: Extracting and compiling data from spreadsheets was tedious and prone to errors.
Fragmented Communication: Reliance on email and paper forms hindered effective collaboration and slowed decision-making.
Simplifying Document Control and Data Access
Rocal’s previous system for document management relied on a cluttered "P drive," which lacked structure and led to frequent delays in finding critical files. With Qhub, document control was streamlined through a centralised digital library that provided version tracking and instant access to key records. This eliminated hours of wasted time and improved overall compliance.
Revolutionising Accident Reporting and Investigations
The paper-based system for accident reporting and investigation was a significant obstacle to efficiency. Managers often struggled with incomplete records and lengthy delays in closing investigations. Qhub’s automated workflows transformed this process, enabling quicker resolution and better involvement of department managers. Reporting became faster and more detailed, with real-time access to all relevant data.
Improving Visibility and Accountability Across Departments
Using Qhub’s intuitive dashboards and portals, Rocal centralised its safety operations, making it easier to track near misses, daily inspections, and accident trends. This visibility extended to shop floor and mobile workers, ensuring that safety processes were followed consistently across all levels of the organization. By linking forms, registers, and documents to live dashboards, the company gained actionable insights that drove meaningful improvements in safety culture.
