Near Miss Reporting
Streamline your near miss reporting procedures and enhance employee engagement with Certainty’s robust system for data collection, real-time corrective and preventative action management, and comprehensive reporting.
The Challenge
Encouraging front-line workers to fully understand and embrace the importance of reporting near-miss incidents.
Often overlooked as mere close calls, many employees fail to grasp the true significance of near misses. As they help organizations identify areas of risk and prevent them from escalating into major incidents, frontline workers encounter near misses but refrain from reporting them due to a lack of understanding, and difficulty with the actual reporting process.
The Solution
Simplify the process of reporting near misses for your employees, ensuring minimal disruption to their regular workflows.

Georgia Pacific
The safety supervisors at Georgia Pacific used to have to spend a lot of time locating individuals to obtain the findings of their safety audits, and they had to dedicate at least eight hours a week to compiling and organizing the reports. This was before they started utilizing Certainty. Gathering, compiling, and reporting the data took a great deal of time. It was a constant struggle that gave me headaches every week.
