Why near-miss reporting matters
Near misses can provide an early warning of hazards before an injury or more serious event occurs. A quick reporting route helps organisations spot problems while there is still time to act.
Make it easy for staff to report near misses before they become accidents. Capture events quickly, investigate causes, assign follow-up actions and identify recurring safety trends.

GGK supports desktop reporting, mobile-optimised reporting, different incident routes, site and off-site reporting, and reporting for yourself or another impacted person. The current GGK platform also describes offline incident capture where connectivity is limited.
Keep near-miss reports structured enough to support action without making reporting feel heavy for staff.
Capture date, time, location, description, incident type and supporting information while the details are fresh.
Record people involved, impacted people and witnesses so managers have a clearer context for follow-up.
Make reporting easier for staff on site, off site, or away from a desk with a mobile-optimised experience.
Use ownership, investigation notes, action tracking, status updates, the incident tracker and closure records to make sure near misses lead to visible follow-up.
Dashboards, reporting, filters, business units, site visibility and Excel reports help managers spot repeated hazards or patterns across teams and locations.
When reporting is quick and accessible from mobile devices, staff are more likely to record near misses while the context is still clear.
Review near misses alongside accidents, incidents, actions and dashboards so the information becomes useful rather than disappearing into isolated forms.
Give staff a quick reporting route and give managers clearer information for prevention, investigation and follow-up.
