Safety Teacher Interview Question:

Tell me what is a near-miss? Share a near-miss experience and what you learnt from it?

Near miss is a situation where an accident could happen but did not. These indicate leaks in security arrangements. Last year, during a renovation project someone placed heavy tiles on the first floor just where the floor was not strong enough to carry their weight. The floor gave in and a couple of tiles fell down, no one was hurt but I learnt to always place safety tags on weak parts of structures being renovated.
