Near-miss reporting people actually use
Near-misses go unreported because the form is long, the portal needs a login, and everyone suspects reporting paints a target. The incident pyramid loses its base — and its warning value.
The short way: A ninety-second report — what, where, severity, photo — anonymous if the reporter chooses, with a high severity rating emailing you the moment it lands.

How it works — three steps

Describe your environment; the AI keeps the form deliberately short.

QR posters at every site point at the link — no logins, no apps.
- 3
A severity rating of 4 or 5 emails you via an Act rule; the rest feed the quarterly picture.
What’s doing the work
Anonymous by choice
The name field is optional — the report matters more than the reporter.
Act rules by severity
'Could have been fatal' interrupts someone's afternoon; 'minor' waits for the weekly review.
QR-friendly public links
A poster in the loading bay is the whole deployment.
Questions people ask
How do we raise near-miss reporting rates?
Sub-two-minute form, genuine anonymity, and visible action on reports — publish the monthly 'you reported, we fixed' list and watch the volume climb.
Won't anonymous reports be abused?
Rarely, and the trade is worth it — one grudge report costs a review; one unreported near-miss can cost a limb.
Minutes, not weeks. That’s the deal.
