Close calls, narrow escapes, or near hits. History has shown
repeatedly that these "near-miss" incidents often precede loss
producing events, but are largely ignored or go unreported because
nothing (no injury, damage or loss) happened. Thus, many
opportunities to prevent the accidents that the organization has
not yet had are lost. Recognizing and reporting "near-miss"
incidents can make a major difference to the safety of workers
within organizations.
Supported by more than 30 years of international safety
experience and research, Safety Management: Near Miss
Identification, Recognition, and Investigation discusses the safety
philosophy behind "near-miss" incidents and clearly demonstrates
the accident sequence showing the Three Luck Factors that determine
the outcome of the event. The author highlights the fortuity of the
event and how a simple risk assessment can be used to identify the
causes of the event and rectify them. He also explains the
management functions of safety and how they relate to "near-miss"
incidents.

"Near-miss" incidents are truly the foundation of major
injuries, the building blocks of accidents, and warning signs that
loss is imminent. They can also form the impetus for proactive,
preventative actions. This book explores how to implement a
"near-miss" incident identification, recognition, investigation,
and rectification program.
