Incident & Near-Miss Reporting

Report everything

Report every injury (even first aid), property or equipment damage, vehicle accident, spill or release, and near-miss — something that could have caused harm but didn't. Near-misses are how we prevent the next injury. There is no penalty for reporting.

Right now

1. Make it safe. Stop the work and remove the hazard if you can do so safely. Do not put yourself in danger.
2. Get care. Call 911 for anything serious. Follow the client site's emergency procedure and notify the client's site contact.
3. Call the office: 513-375-4814 — before the end of the shift, every time.
4. Preserve the scene where it is safe to do so. Take photos.

Same day

• Complete the Incident / Near-Miss Report before you leave the site or the same day.
• Add photos and a short note to the job's field log in the Tech App.
• Witnesses write their own short statement.

Work injuries

For any work injury the office handles the workers' compensation report. See Workers Comp for how claims work and which policy covers the site.

Follow-up

The owner reviews every report, works out the root cause, and shares what changes so it doesn't happen again.
