Hi everyone,

In our lifting operations, we’ve got a solid process for investigating incidents — when something serious happens, we identify the root causes and put actions in place.

Where we struggle is with near-miss reporting. These events often go unreported, and I suspect our current system feels too formal or time-consuming for people working on-site or in the yard.

I want to make it simple and worthwhile for our teams to share near misses — even quick reports that help us learn before something more serious occurs.

Has anyone introduced an easy-to-use reporting system or approach that’s worked well in the lifting or crane industry?

I’d love to hear what’s helped improve engagement and learning in your organisation.
