The construction industry, with its complex projects and hazardous work environments, is inherently prone to safety risks. Despite efforts to mitigate these risks, incidents resulting in injuries, fatalities, and economic losses continue to occur. Traditional incident reporting methods are often limited by underreporting, delayed responses, and lack of real-time data, highlighting the need for more efficient, technology-driven solutions. To address this challenge, this study aims to develop an automated incident reporting system tailored to the construction industry’s specific needs. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 113 construction site professionals using Google Forms. The results showed that 75% of respondents favored an automated system, citing benefits such as improved accuracy, reduced paperwork, and enhanced safety. A framework for developing an automated incident reporting system is proposed, incorporating features such as mobile app-based reporting, real-time notifications, and data analytics. The proposed system aims to improve incident reporting efficiency, accuracy, and safety outcomes in the construction industry. By adopting automated incident reporting, construction companies can reduce incidents, enhance safety, and minimize economic losses. The study contributes to the development of a more efficient and effective incident reporting system, ultimately enhancing safety in the construction industry. The proposed framework provides a foundation for the development of automated incident reporting systems tailored to the construction industry’s specific needs.
