Any work system drifts towards failure over time, reducing efficiency, productivity and safety. This decrease in performance inevitably causes near misses – incidents that can reveal underlying problems if investigated effectively. However, workers often fail to report near misses accurately for fear of being blamed.
This course develops an understanding of near miss reporting and how it can be used to identify areas for improvement in work systems. It also helps organisations move past a blame culture and encourage the type of incident reporting and investigation that leads to meaningful improvements in safety and performance.
