What is Nearmiss Reporting?

A near miss is an unplanned event that could have resulted in injury, illness, or damage but didn't, often due to chance. Near miss reporting captures these close calls to identify hazards before they cause actual harm. Every near miss is an opportunity to prevent a future incident.

Our digital near miss reporting system makes it easy for employees to report close calls in real-time. Capture details, photos, and witness statements. Investigate root causes, implement corrective actions, and track trends to continuously improve workplace safety.
