Capture and report near miss events before they become incidents. This ready-to-use template guides workers to record when and where a near miss occurred, describe what happened, attach photos, and note immediate actions taken such as isolating an area, tagging out equipment, or notifying a supervisor. Supervisors can log corrective and preventive actions, follow-up activities, and sign-off dates to close the report. Common hazards covered include slips, trips and falls, falls from height or equipment, electrical shock, hazardous substances, manual handling, falling objects, and more. Locations and departments like production, warehousing, maintenance, QA labs, dispatch, and chemical storage are supported, making it ideal for food and beverage manufacturing and other operations.
