“…I will not report near-misses." These reasons for not reporting near-misses were also found in other studies [2,8,29,75]. Therefore, a set of regulations or rules should be developed to overcome the obstacles and encourage site workers to report near-misses when they discover them on construction project sites.…”

Construction project management usually has a high risk of safety-related accidents. An opportunity to proactively improve safety performance is with near-miss information, which is regarded as free lessons for safety management. The research status and practice; however, presents a lack of comprehensive understanding on what near-miss information means within the context of construction safety management. The objective of this study is to fill in this gap. The main findings enrich the comprehensive understanding of the near-miss definition, the near-miss causation model, and the process of near-miss management. Considering that near-misses are more tacit and obscure than accidents, the process for near-miss management involves eight stages: discovery, reporting, identification, prioritization, causal analysis, solution, dissemination, and evaluation. The first three stages aim to make near-misses explicit. The other five are adopted to better manage near-miss information, compiled in a well-designed near-miss database (NMDB). Finally, a case study was conducted to show how near-miss information can be utilized to assist in construction safety management. The main potential contributions here are twofold. Firstly, corresponding findings provide a knowledge framework of near-miss information for construction safety researchers who can go on to further study near-miss management. Secondly, the proposed framework contributes to the guidance and encouragement of near-miss practices on construction sites.

“…The common cause hypothesis is now controversial 18,19 . It has been challenged with regard to its validity, with evidence for and against the commonly described belief that learning from and addressing near misses will reduce harmful events 51–55 . There is a need to test the hypothesis for different types of safety events before conclusions can be drawn 52 .…”

The Value of Learning From Near Misses to Improve Patient Safety: A Scoping Review

2022

Objectives: For years, health care has recognized that learning from near misses offers potential opportunities to reduce unintended harm to patients. However, these benefits have yet to be realized. It is assumed that effective actions are being implemented as a result of learning from healthcare near misses, leading to improvements in patient safety. A scoping review of the healthcare literature was undertaken to explore the value of learning from near misses in the improvement of patient safety. Methods:The scoping review was conducted on Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL. Eligible articles published since 2000 were included.Results: A total of 4745 articles were identified through the searches, with 19 included in the final review. The articles included one randomized control trial. All the included articles had evidence of action after reporting or investigation of near misses, with the majority showing evaluation of impact. Actions were human, administrative, and engineering focused. Impact evaluation focused on the reduction of near misses, but without consideration of patient safety outcome measures, such as harm. The review also noted limited availability of experimental research and variability in near-miss definitions and that actions are not just the result of near misses.Conclusions: Currently, health care assumes that reporting and learning from near misses improves patient safety. The literature provides limited evidence supporting these assumptions and shows that actions as a result of near misses are commonly aimed at the human. There is a need to prove the benefits of focusing on near misses in health care and for more system-level actions.

“…It should be mentioned that recognizing whether a near-miss happened differs for various domains. In aviation, for example, a near-miss can be determined based on the opinion of a pilot or air traffic services personnel ( 40 ). In traffic safety, however, surrogate safety measures are considered for this purpose.…”

Evidence suggests that mobile phone navigation applications (MPNAs) may reduce road traffic safety by causing a visual distraction. This study aimed to (i) identify a list of road safety-related events (RSREs) that could occur while looking at the MPNA, (ii) examine the effect of app-taxFi drivers’ glances at MPNA on missing of RSREs, (iii) develop any potential new indicator in road traffic safety, and (iv) develop a pyramid of traffic incidents. This study investigated 36 app-taxi drivers in real road traffic circumstances. Data were collected by video recording using a double-lens camera. The events that occurred while the app-taxi driver was looking at the MPNA were extracted, recorded, and classified. A time span of less than one second and a new indicator, namely “seeing the event BEFORE visual distraction” (seBvd), were examined. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests with a significance level of 0.05 in SPSS 18. A list of 23 events was identified. The most frequent event was “presence of pedestrians across the road” (including crossing the road and beside the road 36%). The number of glances at the MPNA had a significant correlation with time span ≤1 s ( p = 0.001, r < 0.6). The total time of looking at the MPNA had a significant correlation with time span >1 s ( p = 0.001, r < 0.6). A pyramid of traffic incidents was developed based on the results. The new seBvd indicator is a binary (positive; negative) surrogate safety measure that can be useful in evaluating the effect of visual distraction on road traffic safety. The introduced pyramid of traffic incidents seems useful in traffic safety.
