Near-Miss Reporting and Risk Anticipation Training

Near-Miss Reporting & Risk Anticipation refers to proactive measures taken by organizations to identify and address potential hazards and risks before they result in accidents or incidents.

Near-Miss Reporting: Near misses are incidents that could have resulted in injury, illness, or damage to property but did not. Near-miss reporting involves the systematic identification, documentation, and analysis of these incidents. By reporting and investigating near misses, organizations can identify underlying issues, root causes, and trends that may indicate potential risks and hazards in the workplace. Addressing these near misses allows organizations to implement preventive measures to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Risk Anticipation: Risk anticipation involves identifying and assessing potential risks and hazards before they materialize into incidents or accidents. This proactive approach to risk management allows organizations to anticipate and mitigate risks before they cause harm to employees, damage to property, or disruptions to operations. Risk anticipation may involve conducting risk assessments, hazard analyses, scenario planning, and implementing controls and measures to reduce or eliminate risks.
