Near Miss Programs
Do the people of your organization report an average of 30 to 60 "Near Miss" incidents for every injury experienced? If not, you are missing a major opportunity to reduce cost, injury and loss from accidents.
The Need:
Does your organization use trailing indicators to measure safety performance?
- Lost time accident frequencies?
- Recordable injury frequencies?
- Workers compensation rates?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then your organization can benefit from a "Near Miss" reporting program.
Accident Ratios:
Many companies have accident statistics, which show approximately the same number of "Near Miss" incidents as actual injuries. Many companies before starting a program have an "Accident Diamond".
Near Miss Programs Work:
Near miss incidents have the same basic causes as loss producing events. By understanding these basic causes and taking the necessary actions to eliminate them, loss-producing events are also prevented.
