Posted By Edward Deighan I have been asked to set up a accident and near miss recording system. The directors in our company want to identify trends, accident types/injuries and troubled spots in order to take remedial action. We have 6 different locations. We are a transport and engineering firm. I was wondering could anyone give me advice on: Encouraging management to report near misses Presenting my findings to directors i.e. graphs Benefits to the company of near miss reporting Near miss reporting forms Any help would be appreciated.

Posted By Raymond Rapp Edward I think you meant encourage staff to report near misses and encourage management to take them seriously. Near misses should be treated as a 'free lesson'. Unfortunately capturing near misses is not so easy - the Holy Grail. However, and depending on the number of incidents, you could categorise them from say 1-3, then re-examine them for their potential loss. This data could be illustrated by using a simple bar or pie chart. Once re-examined, use the significant data to provide measures to prevent re-occurrence and close the loop by ensuring all staff are forewarned with a safety alert, revise procedures etc. Ultimately you get out of it what you put in.
