A reporting course that has you recognize what actually counts as a near miss and report it clearly and promptly — across 11 realistic cases. It ensures the details that prevent the next incident reach the people who can act on them.
A workplace can only fix what it knows about — and that makes reporting the safety system's early-warning network. This course teaches every worker to tell incidents, near misses, and hazards apart and recognize that all three are reportable; to understand why near misses are free warnings (for every serious injury there are typically many more near misses and minor events, so reporting them lets the cause be fixed before someone is hurt); to know what to report and how urgently, including the prompt notification of serious incidents to the employer and, for the most serious, to the Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health Division, the duty to report medical-aid or time-loss injuries to WCB Manitoba, and the need to preserve the scene of a serious incident; to write a good report that states the facts (who, what, when, where, conditions) without blame or speculation; and to support the no-blame / just culture and the report → triage → investigate → correct → share cycle that turns a report into a prevented incident. Good-faith reporting is a protected worker right. The online theory establishes the Trained state; the employer records the site confirmations (knowing the reporting channel, completing a factual report, and the serious-incident steps) as the Observed state, signed off as Competent.
Equip every worker to recognize and report incidents, near misses, and hazards promptly and factually, know the serious-incident and WCB reporting duties, and support a no-blame culture — so the workplace can fix causes before they cause harm.
