When NMR systems work well, they reveal where work processes are weak, both in safety and efficiency. However, organisations often reduce near miss reports to a formality and lose opportunities to identify and fix root causes of problems. This failure means issues persist, and managers must resort to quick fixes or disciplinary measures that only yield temporary results.
Near Miss Training teaches managers how to overcome these problems and use NMR to make lasting improvements. The course explains how understanding near misses will reveal opportunities to develop safer and more efficient work processes. It also teaches managers how to promote psychological safety among workers to ensure reports are accurate and helpful.
