Near Miss Trend Analyzer

Near Miss Trend Analyzer

Turn near misses into information you can use to prevent future incidents.

A near miss may not result in an injury—but it can reveal a hazard before someone gets hurt.

The Near Miss Trend Analyzer is an Excel-based safety management tool designed to help businesses document near misses, track corrective actions, identify recurring hazards, and analyze safety trends across departments, locations, and root causes.

Enter each near miss into the reporting log and the dashboard automatically turns your data into meaningful safety information.

Safety Dashboard at a Glance

The automated dashboard monitors key safety indicators including:

✓ Total Near Miss Reports
✓ Open Corrective Actions
✓ Overdue Corrective Actions
✓ High-Risk Near Misses
✓ Average Days Open

Identify Where Near Misses Are Occurring

Automatically analyze reports by:

• Hazard type
• Department
• Location
• Root cause
• Month

This can help you identify recurring issues instead of evaluating each near miss as an isolated event.

Built-In Risk Scoring

Evaluate each near miss based on:

Severity Potential

1 — Negligible
2 — Minor
3 — Moderate
4 — Major
5 — Critical

Likelihood

1 — Rare
2 — Unlikely
3 — Possible
4 — Likely
5 — Almost Certain

The workbook automatically calculates the Risk Score by combining severity and likelihood.

High-risk events with a score of 15 or greater are automatically reflected in the dashboard.

Risk Matrix Included

The dashboard includes a 5 × 5 Risk Matrix showing the number of reported near misses at each combination of severity and likelihood.

This provides a visual way to identify where your organization's highest-potential risks are concentrated.

Track Corrective Actions

Document what was done immediately and what still needs to happen.

For each near miss, track:

• Immediate action
• Root cause
• Corrective action
• Action owner
• Target completion date
• Current status
• Days open
• Closed date
• Verification and notes

The dashboard automatically identifies open and overdue actions so corrective items are less likely to get lost after the initial report.
