Near-miss training


Videotel has launched a training programme, “Report a near-miss, save a life”, with The Standard Club. The programme examines the importance of sharing near-miss reports, so lessons can be learned and publicised throughout a fleet to help reduce the chances of similar incidents. Near-miss case studies are described and analysed in detail. These real-life examples of potentially serious incidents are designed to trigger discussions about similar situations that may have gone unreported onboard an individual ship or in the fleet. The programme also investigates the many barriers to near-miss reporting and looks at how incidents involving third parties can be reported.
