Collecting near-miss reports is an essential part of a safety management system (SMS).A near-miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury or damage-but had the potential to do so. Establishing a system for reporting these leading indicators allows our vessel crews, tankermen and other boots-on-deck team members to share safety concerns with shore-side management before the concern causes an injury, environmental incident, equipment damage or even a fatality. The benefit of collection seems obvious, but creating and managing a successful program that transforms reports into positive policy changes is not such an easy task. |
