Near misses are just as dangerous as actual incidents.
If you’ve had a near miss, you might have got lucky but someone else might not. Treat near misses as a free learning tool to put controls in place to prevent more serious incidents from occurring.
Encourage near miss reporting, so you can start to see patterns and gain valuable insights on where to best focus resources into safety. Lots of reports of tools falling from height? Investing in and ensuring controls like the below are in place:
- Can the work be done on the ground?
- Only taking the tools you need up at height
- Can work be done with no one below?
Using the HazardCo App, you can easily record all incidents that occur in the workplace on your incident register. Collecting the information and then conducting a Site Review will provide you with insight as to why the incident may have occurred and what you can do to prevent a recurrence. Find out more here.
