Near miss reporting is not to be used for reporting that you are running late for college or missed an appointment.

Near misses are less severe than accidents. However, near misses should not be ignored or treated lightly. A pattern of near misses provides an early warning that something needs attention. It makes good sense that we are proactive and take action early when problems are likely to be less serious.

Near misses are a valuable source of information. We need you to report Near misses to prevent accidents in the future.

Near miss reporting is important to the Heart of Yorkshire Education Group and provides insight into how we manage health and safety.

The Health and Safety team review all near misses reported to reduce risk to all and improve our working environment.

If you have any queries or need guidance on reporting please contact Ralph Allan, Health & Safety Officer.
