Guides on the parts of a safety program that are easy to get subtly wrong — what counts as a near miss, how to run a job hazard analysis, which OSHA form does what, and how the rates are actually calculated. Written to be useful whether or not you ever use our software, reviewed by John McWade, CSP, under a published editorial policy.
Incident & Near-Miss Management
Reporting what happened, classifying it, and getting something useful out of it.
What is a near miss?
A plain definition, how a near miss differs from an injury incident, and what a report has to contain to be worth filing.
Near miss vs hazard vs incident
Three words used interchangeably in conversation and very differently in a safety program. Where the lines sit, and why the distinction changes what happens next.
Hazard Analysis & Risk
Thinking through a job before it starts, and writing the analysis down in a way people will actually use.
How to conduct a job hazard analysis
Choosing the job, breaking it into steps, naming the hazard at each one, and picking controls that hold up when the crew is tired.
JHA vs JSA: is there a real difference?
Two acronyms for closely related work. What each term usually means, where organizations genuinely differ, and what matters more than the label.
OSHA Recordkeeping & Safety Metrics
The forms, the rates, and what the numbers do and do not tell you.
OSHA 300 vs 300A vs 301
Three forms, three different jobs. What each one records, who sees it, and how they relate to a single injury case.
How to calculate TRIR and DART
The formulas, where the 200,000 comes from, what belongs in each numerator, and what these rates genuinely tell you about a workplace.
