Looking to improve the near miss reporting of our construction sites and am looking to bench mark the number of reports we get on each site. Is there any thing out there i.e. statistics that give information that would indicate the number of reports a week you should be typically getting, per million value or number of people employed on a site or programmed length of the project?

You could use the Henrich acccident triangle data and work retrospectively from the number of recorded accidents you have to get a rough number.
So long as your staff are aware of the importance of recording near misses, and how that data is used to prevent accidents, you should get a decent amount of data which is useful though.
You might need a figure if you plan on imposing some kind of target, however I personally think that approach leads to a poor quality of data.

Andy, I'll probably get shot down in flames for this, but I can't help but feel that trying to benchmark near misses is unlikely to provide you with any meaningful comparison. Not only are you likely to be comparing apples with pears, in relation to the specific incidents but also in the reporting systems, or cultures.
I am not at all convinced that using Heinrich to try and extrapolate near misses is likely to be a worthwhile exercise, but happy to be wrong.

I wouldn't do it either, but it is a way of finding out how many near misses you might be expecting, should you really want that information.

I have a lot of recent experience (ups and downs) of managing a similar system.
Please feel free to PM if you want to chat.
