National Firefighter Near-Miss Reporting System

I suggest this site be a frequent visit for every firefighter. A near miss experienced by a firefighter/EMT can improve the knowledge, skills and abilities of everyone who is made aware of it.  Reporting your near-miss event to www.firefighternearmiss.com will help prevent an injury or fatality of a firefighter.  Near-miss reporting has worked effectively in other industries, especially aviation, since team members have more knowledge.  Industries using near-miss reporting systems have lower injury rates and fewer worker fatalities.
Firefighters have taken the time to submit near-miss reports for us to learn from. Please take the time to learn from them. These reports make excellent in-house drills on those busy days, share them with your crew to discuss.

The supporting partners of this website are frequent visits of mine. All these websites have excellent information dedicated to our profession of firefighting and safety.
