Context and problem

Field technicians relied on manual processes to register operational risks, document evidence, and report safety conditions during field activities.

The challenge was to transform a paper-based workflow into a digital experience that worked well in real field conditions while keeping the process clear for both technicians and office teams.

Design approach

I designed a mobile-first workflow for field technicians to identify risks, capture photos or videos, and submit structured evidence directly from the operation site.

The solution also included a web dashboard concept for office teams to review submissions, track documentation, and support safer decision-making across operations.

Digitizing a safety-critical field workflow

The project focused on improving how field teams register and communicate risks during operational activities.

Instead of relying on paper forms and fragmented documentation, the proposed experience created a more structured way to capture information, evidence, and status updates.

Designing for real operational conditions

The experience needed to work for technicians in the field, where time, context, and clarity matter more than visual complexity.

This required a practical mobile-first interface with clear steps, direct actions, and low cognitive load during risk registration.

Making risk identification easier and more structured

One of the core flows was the risk registration process. The interface guides technicians through selecting the type of risk, adding context, and documenting evidence.

The goal was to reduce ambiguity and make each submission easier to review later by the office team.

Connecting photos, videos, and field information

Evidence capture was a key part of the workflow. The app allows technicians to attach visual records to support the reported risk.

This helped create a more reliable link between what happened in the field and what the office team needed to analyze.

Supporting review and decision-making from the office

The web dashboard was designed to help managers review field submissions with more context and consistency.

It brings together submitted reports, evidence, status, location, and operational information in a clearer review environment.

From field registration to office review

The solution connects the technician’s field workflow with the office team’s review process.

This end-to-end view helped clarify responsibilities, information flow, and the relationship between mobile input and web-based analysis.

A compact interface for fast field use

The mobile experience was designed to prioritize speed, clarity, and direct interaction.

Screens were kept focused, with short forms, clear labels, and visible progress to help technicians complete the process without unnecessary friction.

A clearer operational safety experience

The prototype helped translate a complex field documentation process into a more usable digital workflow.

It created a stronger bridge between technicians and office teams, improving how operational risks could be documented, reviewed, and acted upon.
