When confronted with a near miss at the workplace, if they learn of it at all, many employers respond with relief - and the matter ends there.

This is a huge mistake. Proactively investigating and analyzing near misses can improve your safety program and prevent catastrophic accidents. It can also save you time and money -- it's much easier and cheaper to investigate a near miss than a full-blown incident.

Join us for an in-depth webinar that will help you reduce losses resulting from accidents and injury through the investigation of your near misses -- and bring your managers along. You'll learn:

• How to define a "near miss" and apply that definition to your workplace and safety program
• Which data is the most important to collect and analyze to avoid accidents and illnesses
• How to investigate near misses - who to interview and what to ask
• How to evaluate possible solutions and decide which would work best for your company
• Tips for encouraging employees to report near misses with no fear of reprisal
• Why your safety incentive program may be discouraging reporting -- and how to fix this
• The tools you need to implement an effective near-miss investigation program
• How to measure your program's impact on your company's safety record
