  2. NEAR MISSES A near miss can be an effective tool for management of safety, health and environmental programs

  3. NEAR MISSES Each cooperative should have in place a management structure for the application of a near miss program

  4. NEAR MISSES • Current Trends in the areas of • Economic • Political • Regulatory

  5. NEAR MISSES • Current Trends Have Created The Necessity for • Development of Integrated EHS System & • Focus on Proactive Measures

  6. NEAR MISSES • Near Misses are one of the best indicators of future problems involving the health and safety of employees. • Detecting Near Misses and Addressing Them Can Improve The Overall Safety Program of A Cooperative.

  7. NEAR MISSES • Cooperative Safety Programs Are Being Recognized As An Important Reflection of the performance of the Cooperative. • RESAP Currently Using A Cooperative’s Injury Index As A Part of The Accreditation Process

  8. NEAR MISSES • Effective Management of EHS Programs • Improve Cooperative’s Operation • Reduce Operating Costs

  9. NEAR MISSES • Outside influence • Non-Governmental • RESAP • Expectations • Transparency of Cooperative’s Operation • New Demands

  10. NEAR MISSES • Outside Influence • Regulatory Agencies • OSHA • EPA • Pro-Active Practices

  11. NEAR MISSES • PROACTIVE PROTECTION • Accident Pyramid • Frank E. Byrd, JR • Widely Used • Widely Accepted

  12. NEAR MISSES • Accident Investigation • Adds New Data • One Bad Accident • Several Minor/Near Miss Incidents • Little or No Significant Damage

  13. NEAR MISSES • Accident Pyramid • Bottom of the Pyramid • Information Gained • On-Going Basis • Identify Potential Exposures

  14. NEAR MISSES • Address problems when they are identified • Reduce Probability • Minimize the Damage

  15. NEAR MISSES • Effective Management • Identify Weaknesses • Reduce Accident Rate • Provide Guidance For Improvement

  16. NEAR MISSES • Proactive Prevention • Utilize Minor Incident Information • Based on Analytical Approach • Systematic Procedure • Develop Prognosis • Opportunity To Improve Safety

  17. NEAR MISS • Near Miss Program • Analysis of Potential Problems • Identification of Causes • Find Solutions • Implement Solutions

  18. NEAR MISSES NEAR MISSES ARE THE INCIDENTS AND OBSERVATIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID.

  19. NEAR MISSES • Definition • Vary From System to System • Vary From Person to Person • Some Are Narrow • Some Are All Inclusive

  20. NEAR MISSES • Definition Broader Definitions Increase The Probability Of Identifying Potential Problems At Their Earliest Stages

  21. NEAR MISSES • DEFINITION • Example A Near Miss Is An Opportunity To Improve Safety, Health, Environmental and Security of An Operation Based On A Condition Of An Incident With Potential For More Serious Consequence.

  22. NEAR MISSES • Near Misses Always Reflect The Current Status Of A System. • Data Provided by Near Miss Program is Immediately Applicable • Near Miss Management Should Be a Key Component of EHS Program

  34. NEAR MISSES • DISCLOSURE • Written Form • Reporter • Supervisor • Procedure • Increase Probability

  35. NEAR MISSES • PRIORTIZATION • Critical Step • Depth of Analysis • Allocation of Resources • Extent of Dissemination

  36. NEAR MISSES • DISTRIBUTION • Those Who Will Analyze • Low Priority • High Potential • Often Occurring • Pre-Determined

  37. NEAR MISSES IDENTIFICATION OF CAUSES • Direct/Root Causes • Reporter • Committee • Priority Determines Extent

  38. NEAR MISSES • SOLUTION IDENTIFICATION • For Each Cause • No Effective Solution • Noted • Address Each Cause

  39. NEAR MISSES • DISSEMINATION • Communicate Solution • Stall The System • Manager Permission • Inform All Interested Parties • Distribution List
