Sensor technology company Quintessential Design (Quin) is redefining construction safety in the UK by turning ordinary PPE into an active, data‑driven safety network. The system combines the Quin Pod, Quin Within App, and Quin Tag to capture, analyse and share incident data in real-time.
Despite PPE being mandatory on construction sites, the sector still suffers high injury rates. In 2023/24, 31% of non‑fatal injuries were slips, trips and falls, with head injuries remaining a serious concern. Traditional PPE stops at impact: it cannot log events, trigger rapid medical response, or satisfy RIDDOR reporting for near‑misses that often go unrecorded. This reactive model leaves patterns hidden and workers exposed to recurring hazards.
What the judges said
