Why operators use it
We use this report to turn an event or near miss into prompt safety action, reliable information, the right notifications and learning that prevents a repeat.
Incidents and near misses reveal whether the safety system works in real conditions. A near miss can provide the same information as an injury or crash without the harm. This form makes it easy to record factual information while it is fresh, preserve useful evidence, trigger the right immediate actions and move the event into investigation, corrective action, risk review and feedback.
