Скачать или смотреть Essential Workplace Safety: Defining and Utilizing Near Miss Incidents for Accident Prevention

Cultivating a truly safe workplace begins with understanding the close calls, what the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines as a near-miss: an incident involving a potential hazard that could have caused injury or damage but did not, often due to timing or position. This crucial training focuses on how these events are not just lucky breaks, but rather the clearest indicators of underlying risks. By recognizing and responding to these warning signs, we transform a potential tragedy into an invaluable opportunity for learning and implementing lasting protective measures for everyone on your team. We believe that caring for your people means teaching them how to see and act on the safety signals all around them.

The course goes beyond the definition to give you the structure needed for meaningful follow-up. You will learn the importance of investigation, which OSHA highly recommends, and the need to report these incidents. *OSHA reporting policy requires all near-miss incidents to be reported to a supervisor within 24 hours of their occurrence, and the agency provides a four-step process for investigation: preserving the scene, collecting information, determining root causes, and implementing specific corrective actions.* This systematic approach ensures that the root cause of the hazard is eliminated, preventing it from causing a genuine injury in the future. This training is your guide to building a culture of vigilance where everyone is actively involved in keeping the workplace safer.
