Near miss reporting

Near miss reporting your team will actually use

Staff scan a QR code, tap “No, it was a near miss” and describe what happened. Managers are alerted straight away and can fix the hazard before anyone gets hurt.

Why near misses go unreported

It takes too long

If reporting means finding a form or a manager, most people will not bother.

Fear of blame

People worry that reporting a near miss will get them or a colleague in trouble.

Nothing happens

When reports disappear into a folder, people stop reporting.

No overview

Paper near miss forms make it impossible to see repeat hazards across sites.

Everything you need to capture and act on near misses

QR code reporting

Put a QR poster wherever work happens. No app to install and no login needed.

Report in under a minute

A short mobile form skips the injury questions when nobody was hurt.

Photos of the hazard

Capture the spill, the damaged racking or the blocked walkway while it is there.

Instant manager alerts

The site manager is emailed as soon as a near miss is reported.

Filter near misses

See near misses separately from injuries and spot where they cluster.

Dangerous occurrence checks

RIDDOR triage flags the near misses that must be reported to the HSE.

Near misses worth recording

Slips and trips where nobody fell

Objects falling from height

Frequently asked questions

What is a near miss reporting app?+

A near miss reporting app lets staff record near misses from their phone as soon as they happen, so managers can deal with the hazard before someone is injured.

Do staff need to download an app to report near misses?+

No. Staff scan the QR code for their site and fill in a short form in their phone browser.

Can near misses be reported anonymously?+

Reporters are asked for their name so managers can follow up, but their email address is optional, and reports are only visible to managers in your organisation.

Are near misses RIDDOR reportable?+

Most are not. Dangerous occurrences, which are specific events listed in RIDDOR, must be reported to the HSE even if nobody was hurt. Accident Book’s RIDDOR triage helps you identify them.

How much does it cost?+

£9.99 per site per month, including accident and near miss reporting, with a 7-day free trial.
