Trucking Near-Miss Report & Follow-Up
Capture what nearly went wrong, preserve useful evidence, and assign an action that helps prevent a repeat.
Who It’s For
Drivers, dispatchers, supervisors, and safety managers reporting a close call.
How to Use It
Complete promptly once everyone is safe. Record observable facts, separate unknowns from assumptions, and send the form through your company’s reporting process. If there was an injury, collision, damage, or release, also use the applicable incident process.
What’s Included
- Event facts and contributing conditions
- Immediate safeguards and evidence references
- Corrective action owner and effectiveness check
Preserve relevant evidence through the company’s normal process. Share the learning without unnecessary personal information. Reporting a near miss does not replace required accident, injury, or hazard reporting.
