Near Miss
Near misses in the workplace refer to incidents where an unplanned event almost results in an injury, illness, or damage, but fortunately does not. They provide valuable opportunities for organizations to identify and address underlying hazards before they cause harm. Investigating near misses involves analyzing the sequence of events, identifying contributing factors, and implementing corrective actions to prevent future incidents. Encouraging employees to report near misses without fear of repercussions promotes a culture of safety and continuous improvement. By learning from near misses, organizations can enhance safety protocols, raise awareness of potential risks, and ultimately create a safer workplace for everyone.
