Safer work starts with better knowledge.

Make the area safe through authorised arrangements before investigation.

Report injuries, dangerous events and near misses promptly.

Seek urgent qualified assistance before completing paperwork.

Record what was observed rather than guessing causes.

Identify the work area, equipment and conditions.

Capture witness accounts respectfully while details are fresh.

Preserve relevant evidence without creating further danger.

Use events without injury to identify failed precautions.

Support good-faith reporting instead of punishing the person who reports.

Include suspected work-related illness and exposure concerns.

Restrict personal and medical information to authorised users.

Have responsible personnel assess applicable official reporting requirements.

Look beyond the last action to planning and control failures.

Assign corrective actions to named responsible people.

Set realistic completion dates based on risk.

Verify that completed actions reduce the original risk.

Share useful learning with the people exposed to similar hazards.

Would every worker know how to report a near miss today?
