How about this:
- A near miss is an accidental event that has not resulted in any personal injury, illness, or damage.
- Unsafe working conditions, unsafe employee work habits, improper use of equipment, and use of malfunctioning equipment have the potential to cause work related injuries.

Hi:
Seeking to not reinvent the wheel, does anyone have a near-miss reporting form they like? I have one but I'm not happy with it.
Thanks!
