Pick the closest match — Compliance can reclassify if facts change. You can also change the type on the next screen before saving.
- Accident
A person was hurt. Harm has already occurred.
- Incident
Property damage, dangerous occurrence, or safety system failure with no injury.
- Near-miss
Something almost caused harm — no injury or damage, but easily could have.
- Hazard
A condition that could cause harm if left unresolved (proactive report).
Not sure which to pick?
Accident = someone was hurt. Incident = damage or failure, nobody hurt. Near-miss = almost. Hazard = could happen if left unresolved.
