Can the system run on Android tablets or does it require iOS devices?

The Time and People solution

The system, designed for workplace safety and compliance record-keeping, currently operates on iOS devices – specifically iPhones and iPads – and does not natively support Android tablets as of December 2025. This is due to the system’s reliance on Apple’s Core Data framework for secure, on-device data storage and its integration with Apple’s Secure Enclave for cryptographic key management, features not directly equivalent on the Android platform.

In the United States, this system assists employers in meeting obligations under OSHA regulations regarding hazard communication and incident reporting. Data collected – visitor details, safety checklists, incident reports – is stored locally on the device and can be synchronised to a cloud-based server for centralised management and audit trails, adhering to state and federal workplace safety laws. Similar systems in Australia support a Principal Control Business Unit’s (PCBU) obligations under Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation, with data handling subject to Australian privacy principles. As of December 2025, both US HIPAA and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and their Australian equivalents, require stringent data security measures; the current iOS implementation provides a defined security architecture to support these requirements. While Android offers security features, achieving the same level of granular control and hardware-level encryption currently requires significant re-engineering. Development for Android is under consideration for 2026, but no firm release date exists.

Effectively, the system leverages the specific security and data management capabilities of the iOS ecosystem to ensure compliance with workplace safety and data privacy regulations.
