This Near-miss form has been produced to help record details of workplace near misses. This could include any near accidents, injuries, harm or potentially dangerous occurrences at work relating to Employees, Contractors, Subcontractors, Participants or members of the public. Near misses could also include incidents that relate to near damage to property such as equipment, vehicles and buildings that may cause disruption to normal operations.
Near misses are less severe than accidents. However, near misses should not be ignored or treated lightly, as they can provide valuable insight into how well we are managing health and safety at Bee Active.
This Near Miss Record will allow us to see if there are any patterns in when or how things go wrong. A pattern of near misses provides an early warning that something needs attention. It makes good business sense to be proactive and take action early when problems are likely to be less serious.
Near misses may seem trivial but they are a valuable source of information. Taking time to review the underlying causes is likely to reduce risk, improve health and safety, and save us time and money and help create a safe working environment for our team and customers.
Near miss forms should be completed as soon as possible after the incident. Give as much information as possible. This can be done by the person that was involved in or witnessed the incident or another suitable person on their behalf. All Near Miss incidents will be reported to the Compliance Manager for review.
