When to Report an Incident or Near Miss

When do you report an incident or near miss? Well the long and short of it is… Immediately. No matter if you were involved or just witnessed the event, you need to report it right away. The only thing you should do before reporting is help or get help if anyone was injured. Make sure to keep the work area where the incident happened the same as you found it.

Accidents don’t “just happen”! So, we need to use these events to understand how to better protect ourselves in the future.
