Near Misses
A near miss is something that almost caused an accident… but didn’t. These incidents are easy to ignore, but they’re warnings that something went wrong. This 1-page safety topic has two discussion questions and can be used to host a safety meeting or toolbox talk to review what it means to have a near miss or close call, some examples of near misses, and what workers should do if they see or are involved in a near miss at work.
