24. Near Miss Reporting
To close, I’d like to highlight one additional new program that Federated launched this past September. Phil talks about our claim counts declining, as I showed you earlier. However, he is constantly looking for ways to improve on these reductions even more.
We all know about the incidents and accidents that happen. They are typically reported to us as claims, which allows us to summarize and use this information to learn from. However, a bigger, more elusive piece of this puzzle are those incidents that don’t turn into an actual claim. Those near-misses that happen every day and may not get reported to anyone. How do we learn from those? We’re hoping that through this near-miss program, our employees will have the opportunity to either report anonymously or with full disclosure those near-misses that they experience. Our goal is to provide this information back in summary form to our members and statewide organizations across the country to assist them in better guiding their employee safety training efforts.
If you already have a near-miss reporting program at your system, we encourage you to keep doing what you are doing, with one additional step…whoever is responsible for tracking this information at your system, if they could also enter this information on Federated’s website, that would allow us to share this information with the rest of our members making an even greater impact. Anything we can do to make sure our employees and our members go home safely to their families every night is what these efforts are all about.

25. Reviewing the Near-Miss Report
At this time you can find the Near-Miss reports on the Safety & Loss Prevention page of the site. The report is located in the forms section at this point but will move to the center of the page in the near future.
