Safety Team,

Enclosed is a near-miss abstract that involves lockout/tagout (LOTO) operation. Many workers had the impression that LOTO only applies to electrical systems. On the contrary, it applies to stored energy (e.g., gravity, steam, compressed air, hydraulics, utilities, etc.). Please share the enclosure and its lessons learned with your team. Also, attached are two more "Lesson Learned" PDF files for your use.

Dear Raghu,
Thank you for sharing.
Regarding the first two attachments, I would prefer to categorize them as Unsafe Condition Reporting rather than Near Miss. Do you agree with me? If not, how can we classify these two under Near Miss?
Thank you.

Dear Dipil,
Good Question I’m agree with you, but, let me give an example if bolt falls from top of floor/somewhere but nobody can’t get hurt ‘’What we called this?’’ am sure we called ‘’NEARMISS’’ . If we analyses this scenario in depth how bolt falls from floor/somewhere surely we find/get the root cause. Most of time we supposed to get the reason was unsafe act or unsafe condition.
Unsafe act or unsafe condition only leads to Near miss (EXCEPT very few rare cases), most of time its cause accident. My understanding was NEARMISS will not happen without unsafe act or unsafe condition.
Waiting for your view on this matter.

Dear Raghu,
Thanks for the inputs.
In the incident case scenario that you explained, after the incident happens, it is called a Near Miss. Before the incident occurs, it is an unsafe act or a man-made unsafe condition. Companies even follow two schemes: one is called Near Miss Reporting, and the other is Unsafe Condition & Potential Unsafe Act Reporting. Both have their own significance and need to be dealt with separately. This varies from industry to industry and from company to company. Whatever the case may be, the ultimate goal should be incident prevention. That's it.
