Re: Near miss ...
You mean like this?

I think a lot depends on the culture of the company and how they look at what nearly missed means. If you use it to feel good that someone didn't get hurt, it is not going to add value. We investigate every near miss as though it was a "hit". There are some statistics floating around somewhere that say that for every X number of near misses, there will be 1 injury/damage incident, and for every X number of injuries/damage incidents there will be a fatality. Only by eliminating unsafe acts will we prevent near misses, and then injuries, and then deaths. So, tracking near misses is not a bad thing, it is what you do with the information and how your culture perceives them.
