Abstract

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) plays a critical role in safeguarding the well-being of staff, students, and visitors within academic institutions. Universitas Brawijaya recognizes the importance of a comprehensive OHS Information System to efficiently manage and disseminate vital safety information across its campus. This paper presents the design and development of an Android-based Occupational Health and Safety Information System (OHSIS) application tailored specifically for Universitas Brawijaya. The proposed OHSIS application aims to enhance the university’s OHS practices by providing a user-friendly mobile platform that empowers staff, students, and visitors with essential safety-related information. Leveraging the popularity and accessibility of Android smartphones, the application will facilitate real-time access to safety guidelines, emergency protocols, hazard notifications, and safety training materials. The development process involved a systematic approach that encompassed several stages, including requirements gathering, system analysis, design, implementation, and testing. In the requirements gathering phase, input was solicited from key stakeholders, such as university administrators, faculty members, students, and OHS experts, to ensure that the application’s features align with their needs and preferences. The OHSIS application boasts an intuitive user interface, which incorporates efficient navigation and streamlined access to critical safety information. Users can readily browse through a wealth of safety resources, such as safety manuals, instructional videos, and educational modules. Furthermore, the application features an emergency alert system, enabling users to report incidents promptly and receive real-time assistance. Incorporating cloud-based storage and integration with the university’s existing OHS infrastructure, the OHSIS application ensures seamless synchronization and data sharing. Additionally, the app will employ robust security measures to safeguard sensitive user information and protect against unauthorized access. The application was rigorously tested through user acceptance testing and simulated scenarios to evaluate its usability, functionality, and performance. Initial feedback from beta testers exhibited positive responses, highlighting the app’s effectiveness in promoting safety awareness and incident reporting. In conclusion, the Android-based Occupational Health and Safety Information System (OHSIS) application developed for Universitas Brawijaya serves as a powerful tool in strengthening the university’s safety culture. With its comprehensive features and user-friendly design, the OHSIS application is poised to make a significant impact on ensuring the well-being of all members of the university community and fostering a safer academic environment. Future enhancements may include incorporating data analytics to identify patterns and trends in incidents and accidents, enabling proactive safety measures and continuous improvement of the OHS practices at Universitas Brawijaya.
