near misses

A near miss is an incident where an accident or injury almost occurs but is avoided just in time. It's like narrowly missing a car accident or a fall that could cause harm. While no one gets hurt, near misses highlight potential hazards and risks in a workplace or environment. Recognizing and analyzing near misses helps prevent future accidents by addressing the unsafe conditions or behaviors that led to them. They serve as important warning signs, encouraging proactive safety measures to protect everyone.
