Low-friction reporting
Confirm how the signal should be captured while it is still fresh, without turning every observation into a long form.
Near miss reporting software
Near misses should lead to action instead of another forgotten form.
Strawboss walkthroughs map how crews would report near misses, hazards, observations, and photos from the field, then how follow-up should connect to corrective actions and trend review.
Near miss programs usually break in one of two places: reporting is too slow for the field, or nothing visible happens after a report is submitted. Either way, people stop reporting.
Use the walkthrough to make near misses part of the safety record.
The walkthrough can test how crews would capture the event, condition, photo, location, and quick context. Safety teams can then confirm how the report should connect to prior inspections, incidents, follow-up, and trend review.
The goal is not to flood the safety office with raw reports. The goal is to make early warning signals easier to act on. AI-supported summaries should be validated against source records before use.
Use it for leading indicators
- Near misses, close calls, and high-potential events.
- Unsafe conditions, hazard IDs, and safety observations.
- Photo-based field reports from crews and supervisors.
- Corrective actions tied to repeat conditions.
A good walkthrough starts with a handful of recent near misses or safety observations. We can map what patterns might emerge and what follow-up should be validated first.
Pattern review
Review how reports should be compared across projects, crews, locations, and prior inspection findings.
Action closure
Map how corrective actions, owners, and closure proof should link back to the original near miss.
Common questions
Can a walkthrough include safety observations too?
A walkthrough can confirm how near misses, unsafe conditions, positive observations, and hazard reports should be handled as related field safety signals.
Can near miss reports become investigations?
When a report needs deeper review, the walkthrough can map how it should connect to an incident investigation workflow, corrective actions, and the evidence file.
