Safety observations & near-miss reporting
Build a proactive safety culture with structured observation programs.
QEHS Ethos safety observation software lets any worker submit a positive, corrective, or near-miss observation from their mobile device. Managers see leading-indicator trends; supervisors receive auto-routed action requests.
The problem
- Workers do not report near-misses because the process is too cumbersome
- Observations collected on paper are never analysed
- No way to correlate observation volume with leading indicator targets
How it works
A step-by-step walkthrough of this use case in QEHS.
Submit an observation
Open the QEHS app, tap "Safety observation", choose observation type (positive/corrective/near-miss), add a photo and GPS location.
Route the record
Corrective and near-miss observations route automatically to the responsible supervisor for action.
Assign corrective action
Supervisor creates a corrective action with due date and owner; worker receives a closed-loop notification when it is resolved.
Track leading indicators
Program dashboard shows observations per person, ratio of positive to corrective, and action closure rate.
