Capture enough detail to act

A near miss report should help the team understand what happened, what could have happened and what action will reduce the risk. It should not be treated as a form that disappears after submission.

Useful near miss fields

  • Date, time, location and job reference.
  • People, equipment, materials or vehicles involved.
  • Description of what happened.
  • Immediate action taken.
  • Photos, sketches or supporting notes.
  • Root cause or contributing factors.
  • Owner, due date and status for follow-up actions.

Close the loop

The most important part of the record is often the action that follows. Assign actions clearly and keep evidence of completion so supervisors can prove the issue was managed.

Learn across projects

Near miss trends can show repeated risk across jobs, teams or activities. Review patterns regularly and feed useful lessons back into toolbox talks, RAMS and site briefings.
