Near Miss Event

Where a significant near-miss event has occurred, it is an individual's due diligence to report the event to prevent similar incidents in the future.  Examples of near-miss events include the failure of research or safety equipment to perform as expected, unplanned for chemical reactions, or poorly planned experimental procedures or set-up compromising personal safety. 

  1. For all near-miss events, please review the event with your supervisor to determine if reporting is required. 
  2. Where a near-miss event is deemed reportable by you and your supervisor, complete a Faculty/Department Incident & Investigation Report and submit to EHS via fax (780-492-7790) or campus mail.
