Close-call event
Near miss is for something that happened but did not result in the harmful outcome.
Frontline close-call reporting
Make near misses easy to report — and hard to ignore.
Give frontline teams a simple route to record what nearly happened so managers can review the event and connect any required follow-up to the original report.

The operational problem
Close calls are easy to lose when reporting them feels harder than walking away.
A near miss needs a simple reporting route and a clear management response. Ensure keeps the close-call record available for review so the organisation can decide what action is required.
Keep the proposition simple
01
Frontline reportGive employees a consistent way to record the near miss.
02
Event detailCapture what nearly happened and the context around the event.
03
Management reviewKeep the report visible to the people responsible for reviewing it.
04
Follow-upConnect corrective action where the review identifies something to address.
A short route from report to review
Report → Review → Act
Near-miss reporting should be quick at the frontline and useful at management level.
- 01Report
Record the close-call event in a consistent digital flow.
- 02Review
Managers assess what nearly happened and what it indicates.
- 03Act
Raise and track corrective follow-up where action is required.
A distinct safety event
Record what nearly happened before it disappears into conversation.
Useful context
Keep the report specific enough for a manager to understand and review.
Connected action
Where action is required, keep it linked to the originating report.
For managers and safety leaders
Use the report as a starting point for follow-up.
- See near-miss reports within the wider Ensure safety record.
- Review the event separately from incidents that caused harm.
- Connect corrective action where the report identifies something that needs to change.
