The Longshore Injury Hotline mobile app is a comprehensive resource for the longshore community. In addition to the customized time tracker, the app also provides a tool for Longshore workers, foremen and clerks to quickly record the details of any work-related accident and injury.
With the Longshore Injury Hotline app, in the event of a work-related accident, you can jot down the basic details, collect witness information and take photos and video on the spot, so you’ll never forget potentially significant details that could be very helpful to you if you file a claim.
With the Longshore Injury Hotline mobile app in your pocket, creating your own accident report is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
