A parks-department director instructs staff to report only completed injuries and never hazards or near-misses. What should a risk manager correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Waiting for blood on the floor is a terrible dashboard. Hazards and near-misses are the early warning lights—report those and you often avoid the injury report altogether. A director who only wants the aftermath is flying without instruments.
Full Explanation
Mature reporting systems capture precursor events—hazards and near-misses—in addition to injuries. Precursor data enables preventive action before harm occurs. Restricting intake to completed injuries delays learning and leaves controllable exposure unaddressed.
