1. An apparatus comprising:
- a storage medium configured to store a database;
a port configured to receive, over a network, data related to a plurality of observations of activities at a work site that are either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly;
a processor operatively connected to the port and to the database; and
a machine-readable memory operably coupled to the processor, and bearing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising,receiving a first data communication from the port, said first data communication comprising at least one observation of activity at a work site that is either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly;
storing said first data communication in the database;
receiving a second data communication from the port, said second data communication comprising at least one observation of activity at a work site that is either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly;
storing said second data communication in the database;
comparing at least one metric of at least one of the first data communication and the second data communication to at least one established criteria for reporting observations to a party; and
in the event that the at least one metric satisfies the criteria for reporting either or both observations of the first and second data communications, communicating a notification message to a party in accordance with the established criteria.

Abstract
One embodiment includes an apparatus that comprises a storage medium to store a database. The apparatus also includes a port to receive, over a network, data related to a number of observations at a work site based on input into an electronic device. The apparatus includes a processor to store the data into the database, wherein the processor is to output a notification message through the same or a different port and over the network to an account of a supervising party based a metric related to the number of observations.

55. A method of handling observations of worksite activity, comprising the acts of:
-
receiving a first data communication over a network, the first data communication comprising at least a first observation of activity at a work site that is either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly; receiving a second data communication over a network, the second data communication comprising at least a second observation of activity at a work site that is either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly; comparing at least one metric of at least one of the first data communication and the second data communication to at least one established criteria for reporting observations to a party; and in the event that the at least one metric satisfies the criteria for reporting either or both observations of the first and second data communications, communicating a notification message to a party in accordance with the established criteria. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64)

65. Machine-readable storage media bearing instructions that when executed by one or more processors perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a first data communication, the first data communication comprising at least a first observation of activity at a work site that is either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly; receiving a second data communication, the second data communication comprising at least a second observation of activity at a work site that is either unsafe or environmentally unfriendly; comparing at least one metric of at least one of the first data communication and the second data communication to at least one established criteria for reporting observations to a party; and in the event that the at least one metric satisfies the criteria for reporting either or both observations of the first and second data communications, communicating a notification message to a party in accordance with the established criteria. - View Dependent Claims (66, 67)
