Top 4 Reasons Near Misses are Not Reported

1. Complacency

After a time, workers become used to their environment and are willing to settle for a less-than-ideal situation because they believe it’s easier than fixing the issue. To improve the reporting of near misses, it is vital to move away from complacency with paper-based checklists and towards a digital solution. 

2.ComplicateD process

If the process for reporting a near miss is complex, workers will likely hesitate to take the time out of their day to do so. A paper-based near-miss reporting system is one example.

3. Don’t want work interruptions

When workers report a near miss, it means stopping work to fill out a report, which can take several hours using a paper-based checklist.

4. Lack of feedback/recognitions

Lack of feedback is one reason why near misses are not getting reported. With a paper-based checklist, it is more challenging to provide feedback promptly. A lack of feedback can discourage people from reporting near misses
