37. In Summary
Because there is a “no blame” policy employees can share their near miss experiences instead of covering them up or ignoring them
Aramco makes it easy to report near miss events either verbally, written or electronically
Reporting makes it possible to put controls in place to change unsafe situations or behavior

38. Remember
All 'Near Misses' are Accidents waiting to happen, they could happen to you or one of your co-workers!
If we regularly report Near Misses, then it is more likely that we will avoid Accidents.
If the Problem is not reported, it will not go away!
