  5. What is a Near Miss? • Why near miss reporting? • Motivate and empower the workforce to be a partner in safety • Recognize and communicate unsafe conditions and close-calls • Take action to reduce risk and prevent adverse outcomes • Near miss definition: • An unplanned event or unsafe condition that has the potential for injury or illness to people, or damage to property, or the environment

  7. Research Methodology

  8. Near Miss Reporting Process

  9. Reporting flowchart Near Miss Implementation Resources • Reporting card • Database • Evaluation Tool

  10. Findings: Barriers and Enablers Barriers • Fear of retaliation • Fear that reporting reflects poorly on performance • Absence of a trusting environment • Lack of training • No follow-up Enablers • Communication • Leadership and motivation • Guidance and resources • Near miss reporting training • Reward strategy “If you see it, you own it” – Interviewed Safety Manager

  11. Research Conclusions • A strong safety foundation is a prerequisite, however… • An effective near miss reporting program: • Is the most effective leading indicator (CII RT 284) • Helps overcome “fear” and builds “trust” with the workforce • Is best measured by user feedback, not reporting quotas • Enhances hazard awareness, lowers risk, and improves safety performance • Only works if everyone (craft worker to senior management) buys in • Can help us break the performance plateau • Can help save lives

  12. Implementation Session Agenda • Detailed discussions • Site interviews • Monitoring and intervention • Implementation strategies • Demonstration of implementation tools • Information flowchart/reporting card • Reporting database template • Program evaluation tool • Panel Q & A
