Abstract

This paper presents on development of an accident reporting system using an iOS application. Normally, accidents at workplace could only be reported on a standard paper form but there are often delays in submitting the reports, as well as difficulties in retrieving them back for analyzing purposes. Additionally, reporting via paper format consumes paper resources, which is not environmental friendly. The iOS accident reporting system application was developed using Xcode SDK 5.1, focusing on device with iOS 7 as their operating system. The mobile application allows user with iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad, to report occupational accidents, quickly. The report is sent email to the Safety and Health Officer. Hence, this application makes accident reporting task become more efficient and effective, for immediate action to be taken.
