Human Focus Webinar | Transform Near Miss Reporting for Radical Improvement in Learning and Serious Accident Prevention
2025-06-04 14:00 - 15:30 UTC | Online
Is Your Near Miss Reporting Driving Meaningful Safety Improvements?

Many reporting systems were unintentionally designed to capture the obvious and low-risk. They still have value for that—but if you want near miss reporting to help prevent serious accidents, your system needs to evolve.
Compounding the issue, workforce engagement is often uneven. Some only report what they feel is safe to share. Others are unsure what counts as a near miss. Over time, reporting becomes reactive—driven more by compliance than by curiosity or concern.
If these challenges sound familiar, then this webinar is definitely for you.
