Reporting as a Key Element of an Effective Near-Miss Management System in Shipping

 

Hasanspahić et al. (2020) – assessed the quality and effectiveness of near-miss management systems in the shipping industry.  Results indicate that near-miss reporting is inadequate, and several barriers limit appropriate near-miss reporting.
