As we draw closer to Halloween, let’s take some time to reflect on those scary moments that may have arisen in our workplace, and how we may learn from them. These near misses are invaluable insights and moments of revelation that, if properly understood and shared, can prevent real-life scares and serious incidents.
The instinct might be to breathe a sigh of relief after a “close shave” and move on. However, within an HSEQ framework, every near miss is a gift, a warning sign that something needs attention. This aligns perfectly with a growth mindset, where challenges and setbacks aren’t failures, but critical opportunities for development. Our Lessons Learnt module provides the structured approach to investigate these moments, understand the underlying hazards, and ensure that what “almost” happened, never actually does. It’s about empowering your teams to see every incident, no matter how minor, as a chance to enhance capabilities and foster a culture of proactive safety.
There are many benefits into implementing a strategy to lessons learnt, such as:
The Lessons learnt module in FlexManager allows workers to anonymously submit information about errors or mistakes that have arisen. FlexManager provides the intuitive platform to manage, track, and act on these critical insights. Having awareness of your operations and any challenges faced by employees is crucial for drawing insights and achieving your compliance goals.
This Halloween don’t let valuable insights from “close shaves” vanish into the shadows. By emphasizing the importance of Lessons Learnt, you’re actively promoting a culture of continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing. Empower your business to learn, adapt, and become the safest and most efficient it can be, transforming every near miss into a foundation for future success.
