Brieuc DOBROWOLSKY, Training Manager
1/ Hello Brieuc, can you introduce yourself ?
Of course! Brieuc Dobrowolsky, 38 years old, I have lived in Nantes for 12 years. I have been working in HSE risk prevention since 2004, I worked in the automotive and aeronautical industries, then in the wind energy sector, where I have been working since the end of 2011. I have been in charge of training at OpenR for 6 months now. I love meeting people, and my new position requires all the pedagogy that I have developed in my role as HSE Coordinator in recent years. I am really passionate about the world of wind energy, my daily challenge is to improve the skills and working conditions of the people involved.
2/ What is OpenR’s business?
OpenR intervenes since several years as subcontractor on the French wind energy market (see a little European), on any type, and any brand of wind turbine. Our core business is the regulatory periodic inspections of equipment installed in turbines (hoists, personnel elevators, anchor points, life lines, fire extinguishers, PPE…). We also intervene on the construction of new wind farms or the installation and maintenance of equipment involved in the optimization of wind turbines.
Finally, for the past few years, we have been providing “Work at height” training courses, which are essential in our business. Louis Dreyfus Armateurs acquired a stake in OpenR in 2019. The construction and operation of vessels dedicated to offshore wind farms will gradually allow us to offer our services beyond the land.
3/ What are your missons ?
I have to make sure that all the staff is up to date with their training, which is very focused on health and safety and technical skills. I also have the task of developing partnerships with recognized training organizations in the region (we have agencies in Dijon, Reims and Saint-Nazaire). In addition to this, we are developing the training services we offer (training organization approval in the process of being obtained). Finally, since I like all this very much, I try to participate in making us known, this is done through communication, networking in the profession, digital tools (social networks).
4/ What problems did OpenSafePRO solve at OpenR?
Initially, the follow-up of the EPI against the falls height, then thereafter the follow-up of our vehicles, and when I arrived at OpenR, I saw that your software proposed a module “Formations / Habilitations” that we did not exploit. I wanted to modernize our management by passing it on OSP, Excel having its limits. Since then I am very happy with this tool, especially because it evolves and improves by taking into account our needs. Finally, I think that the most practical thing is the very simple monitoring of deadlines and the automatic e-mail alerts. Our success will depend on the success of OpenSafePRO, which is why I want to help develop the tool.
5/ What are your favorite features of OpenSafePRO?
I would say the color coding on the dashboard to see the status of the material, or the training. As mentioned before, the email alerts, which allow you not to have to think about looking at the next deadlines, that takes the weight off. This is a new feature, but I would say the employee passport, which allows you to generate an updated document of the training/accreditation of a technician in one click. And also the possibility to generate nice PDFs with our own logo, which is a guarantee of quality for our customers.
6/ Finally, who would you recommend our software to?
To companies evolving in the wind industry, also to people working in an environment where there are a lot of periodicity, regulations, where you have to bring proof during audits. This software allows to have a professional follow-up, with a history, and thus to lock this point which can be sensitive.

Thank you Brieuc!
