Dear seniors,
I have two different queries that have arisen in my mind after experiencing a Near Miss. Please guide me.
1. Is Near Miss Reporting a Leading Type performance indicator or a Lagging Type performance indicator? Please explain briefly.
2. What is the logical basis for defining working at heights above 1.8 meters?
Thank you,

Dear Abhay,
Regret to see yet no reply to your post.
Why doubt, reporting “near miss” is a leading type performance Indicator for the simple reasons that only a safety conscious and determined management could demand for seriously reporting all near misses whereas it is only a ritual for others.
Coming to the second one, I have already answered this for another posting.
Think, one falls to the same level. Chance of him sustaining a head injury is minimum. Now think of him falling from a height of 1 foot, then 2 feet, 3 feet, and so on.
Consider the severity in each case. Serious research is done on this in the past and it continues.
Head injuries/Severity/fatality in cases of fall from a height over 1.8 meters is alarming whereas around 1.2 meters is very few or negligible.
On the basis of research findings only the height 1.8 meters for fall protection is mandated.
Hope you have the answer now.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the simple yet clarifying explanation and for your participation. I would really like to participate actively in this forum, as I did in the past, especially if there are seniors like you to support and correct any wrong information provided. Nowadays, many practical issues arise that require support and guidance. In the past, I used to feel that CiteHR was a reliable platform from which I could expect responses. However, lately, I have not been feeling inclined to post here because I usually do not receive any responses.
Dear All,
I eagerly anticipate hearing the views of other forum members. Let's work together to make the forum active again, especially the safety forum. Even if not providing a solution, expressing a concern like, "Yes, I would also like to know about this," can encourage people to come forward and participate in individual threads, which will surely make a difference.
