Two entrepreneurs have developed a health and safety app to help businesses get back to normal post-Covid.
Jonny Gray and Adam Civval created the app called Work Wallet four years ago for companies in the rail, construction and manufacturing industries keep their sites, staff, and contractors safe and operational.
In the last few months they said they had seen five times as many people using the software as businesses adapt to the pandemic.

The company boasts clients in the 海角视频, Europe and Asia and is looking to further expand its team from its Derby headquarters.
The all-in-one health and safety platform has 10 modules that feed information to employees and collects feedback for management.
Work Wallet can track requirements including permits to work, site safety briefings, RAMS, audits, accident reporting, risk assessments and digital inductions.
Jonny, who won Tech Business Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2017 Derby Telegraph Business Awards said the primary purpose was to improve communication when it comes to health and safety.
He said: “Work Wallet was designed to be simple to use. Technology is successful if people understand quickly how to use it and the benefits of using it.

“The pandemic has meant that more firms want to use digital platforms for their health and safety to enable them to remotely manage their return to operation.
“This is exactly what Work Wallet does – it helps to connect people and workplaces and improve processes to keep sites safe and operational, which is why we have seen such a huge growth.”
Jonny said: “Work Wallet is allowing essential industries to move forward and out of the pandemic.
“With the app development to allow businesses to record people on site, conduct remote health and safety inductions and get all the high-risk information needed to issue permits to work, our clients are embracing all of the functionality on offer.
“I think these benefits, along with allowing firms to move from traditional paper-based systems to digital platforms, has helped us to achieve this growth.
“We are delighted that Work Wallet has seen such big success in the past 12 months – we have some new contracts in the pipeline and the future is certainly looking bright.”
He said the platform is multilingual, enabling colleagues to communicate globally, not just verbally but also digitally, ensuring there is no language barrier and therefore communication across the world is seamless.
Mr Gray is the majority shareholder of the business which operates from shared office spaces in Derby town centre.
