Snappy way to report unsafe work practices

Members of the public are being roped in to spot - and report - shortfalls in workplace safety and health with a new cellphone application (app) developed by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

When users of Snap@MOM see, for example, a construction worker working at a height without using a harness, they may use their cellphone cameras to snap a shot.

They can next identify their location using the app's Global Positioning System, insert a short description and then hit 'Submit'.

The feedback goes straight to MOM.
