Near Miss Reporting

They didn’t almost die for nothing.

That forklift that just missed the apprentice’s leg.
The boom arm that almost clipped a live wire.
The harness that nearly failed, if not for a second check.

That’s not luck. That’s a warning.

What’s a Near Miss?

A near miss is a pre-incident incident. Incidents that could have resulted in injury, illness, or damage but ultimately did not. The smoke before the fire. It’s your last chance to fix the system before it sends someone home in a body bag.

Right now, most crews laugh off near misses. Shrug and say, “Close one.” Field1st makes ‘close’ count. Because behind every serious incident is 30 near misses nobody talked about.

Field1st Near Miss Reporting makes sure you hear the whispers before the screams.

No forms lost in trucks. No three-week delays. No more close calls ignored.
