Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving near-miss investigation reporting was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Safety performance on this part of occupational health and safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the practice within occupational health and safety rather than to abstract argument. Where near-miss investigation reporting is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the wider occupational health and safety agenda, in large organisations and small ones alike. Most organisations already have a policy on the occupational health and safety discipline; far fewer can show it working. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about near-miss investigation reporting under scrutiny. The programme takes participants through this part of occupational health and safety end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of occupational health and safety that participants can repeat annually.
