Near-Miss or Unsafe Act :: Risk Management - Injury & Incident Reporting - Report a Near-Miss or Unsafe Act

Extension employees should submit all near-miss/unsafe act reports using an Extension-specific SharePoint workflow.

Guidance for Submitting

Submit a report if there is an incident that:

  • Did not result in property damage;
  • Did not result in personal injury;
But, given a slight shift in time or position, a high-risk injury/incident could have occurred.
