Digital collaboration including data security, for shared use, with editing options

Simple and efficient collaboration thanks to shared access to all occupational safety documents

🔐 Digital collaboration with Nextcloud - how we share your documents securely and efficiently

As a customer of Arbeitssicherheit Hillebrand, you not only receive expert advice on all aspects of occupational health and safety, but also structured access to your documents at any time - via a secure cloud service: NextCloud.

📂 Structured customer folders, centrally accessible

We set up an individual, digital customer folder for each customer. This contains all documents relating to the collaboration, such as

  • Risk assessments
  • Minutes of ASA meetings
  • Plant inspections
  • Instruction documents
  • Tracking of measures
  • Occupational health documents

This folder structure is systematically organized, always up-to-date and available to you at any time - directly via a protected link with password access.


🤝 Shared access and active collaboration

Thanks to NextCloud technology, we enable you to:

  • Synchronous access to the same documents that we use internally
  • Joint editing of files - e.g. adding to documents or commenting on minutes
  • The option of uploading your own files - such as internal evidence or photos of measures being implemented

This creates a digital work platform that makes our collaboration efficient, transparent and legally compliant.


🔍 Why we use NextCloud - and what it brings you

NextCloud is a cloud service that is characterized by particularly high security standards. In contrast to traditional US services such as Dropbox or Google Drive, NextCloud meets strict European data protection requirements.

✅ The most important functions of NextCloud:

  • End-to-end encryption: Only authorized persons can access your data - not even NextCloud itself. 
  • Arbeitssicherheit Hillebrand authorizes only one person, the contact person, for each customer.
  • The contact person can of course distribute any file or form within the company.
  • Access control: Each link can be protected with a password and expiration date.
  • Synchronization in real time: changes are immediately visible for both sides.
  • Version history: Previous file versions remain traceable.
  • File request: You can certainly provide us with documents.

🎯 The advantages for you as a customer:

  • No more e-mail chaos - all documents centralized
  • Access from any device, at any time - even mobile
  • GDPR-compliant data storage on servers in Europe
  • Maximum confidentiality for sensitive information
  • Saving time through structured collaboration

🔧 How it works in practice

  1. You will receive a personalized release link with password from us
  2. You can access your customer folder directly - in the web browser or via the free NextCloud app
  3. You can view, download, upload or edit documents together
  4. Changes are visible to both sides - audit-proof and traceable

🧾 Conclusion

With NextCloud, we create a modern, secure and GDPR-compliant working environment for documenting your occupational health and safety processes. Digital collaboration saves time, avoids misunderstandings - and brings structure to your documents.
