What is a Near Miss?

A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or damage but had the clear potential to do so. Examples include a load shifting during transport that did not fall, a spill that was contained before anyone slipped, or a vehicle reversing close to a pedestrian who was not struck. Reporting near misses creates a safety improvement loop that prevents future accidents.

Near Miss Report Form

The form is a single-page submission. Hazard Category and a description of what happened are required. All other fields are optional but the more detail you provide, the more actionable the report is.

Submit Near Miss Report

Report immediately, not later

Submit the near miss report as soon as the situation is safe. Details are freshest in the first few minutes. If you wait until the end of your shift you may forget important details like the exact location or time.

Near misses are reviewed by management

All submitted near miss reports are visible to the account Owner and Staff. Reports with High or Critical potential severity are flagged for immediate review. Use this to escalate genuinely dangerous conditions quickly.

Common Mistakes

• Not submitting because you think the incident was too minor — all near misses should be reported, however small.

• Selecting a vague category that does not match the hazard type — this makes it harder to identify patterns.

• Submitting without a photo when the hazard is still present — a photo is worth far more than a description for a safety investigation.
