How does OSHA define a near-miss? A near-miss is a potential hazard or incident in which no property was damaged and no personal injury was sustained, but where, given a slight shift in time or position, damage or injury easily could have occurred. Near misses also may be referred to as close calls, near accidents, or injury-free events. #nearmiss #osha #hazard #incident #damage #injury #safety #safety1st #hse #risk | HSE Brothers
