Guide Summary
Accident and near miss reporting helps organisations learn from events before a more serious injury occurs. Reports should be factual, timely and followed by corrective actions.
Practical Guidance
- Record what happened, where it happened, who was involved and what immediate action was taken.
- Look for underlying causes, not just the action immediately before the event.
- Track corrective actions until they are complete and reviewed.
