Alexandra Palace signed by tech firm to 'transform' venue's health and safety measures

Health and safety technology firm, Notify Technology has signed entertainment venue, Alexandra Palace, as a new client.

Notify offers clients a health and safety reporting platform that provides real time visibility and the ability to abolish paper-based documents and processes, enabling workforces to log incidents.

Graeme Timms, head of health and safety at Alexandra Palace, was looking for a way to eliminate paper-based reporting systems, and thus found Notify. He was impressed with the platform’s adaptability and the data it could collect and interpret.

He said: “Introducing Notify has transformed the way we report and act on near-misses and accidents at Alexandra Palace, allowing us to gather learnings and make changes quickly, for the benefit of our 600,000 annual visitors and members of staff.

“We run varied events across the year, from Rudimental and New Order concerts, to the ice rink and skate park, to open-air cinema events and a regular farmer’s market, along with many others, each posing unique health and safety risks.”

“The data we’ve been able to collect has started to give some insights with regard to accident causes and frequency relating to each unique event, as well as solving our GDPR-compliance challenges, thanks to the security functions built into the system.”

In addition to the news of commencing work with Alexandra Palace, Notify’s CEO, Duncan Davies, has shared insight into some of the additional features being added to the platform.

He explained: “We have the benefit of being able to take client feedback on board and implement changes to the platform quickly, so our latest updates address the challenges and opportunities our clients have shared with us recently.”

Notify will also be launching in a range of foreign languages. The app has been downloaded in over 52 countries so far.
