How should a near-miss procedure be established and implemented, and are there any examples available for guidance?

Hi!

Good day!

One of the findings from our previous audit was that there was no near-miss procedure established. I would like to ask for help in establishing a near-miss procedure and would appreciate an example so that I can fully understand how to implement it.

thank you very much for the help.

Hi Churima,

It depends on relevance to your organization. What are some incidents that you think could happen? 

The only near miss I am aware of is when I flew on a 737 over Cayman Islands and a Copa going the other way almost hit us.

Good morning and welcome!

We do something like this for personnel safety, I suppose you could adapt it for food safety:

Date & Time of incident – 

Location – xxxxx room

Full description of incident – Blocked fire extinguisher.

Blood Present Yes/No, xxxxx Notified Yes/No

Loss of Product Yes/No

Loss of Production Time Yes/No

With a few details plugged in or standard categories of responses you can do incident trending, and pick additional topics for training based off observations.

Hi Churima,

Welcome to the IFSQN forums

What standard were you audited against?

Kind regards,

Tony
