Overview
Near miss reporting is your early warning system for preventing serious incidents. Research shows that for every major injury, there are hundreds of near misses that went unreported. This module removes barriers to reporting by providing simple, blame-free submission channels accessible from any device.
Gamification features including leaderboards and recognition programmes encourage positive reporting culture. Safety teams can quickly assess submissions, identify trends, and implement preventive measures before near misses escalate into actual incidents.
Integration with the hazard register ensures near miss reports automatically update risk assessments, creating a living safety management system that continuously learns from close calls.
