Abstract: Proper reporting and management of near-miss events is essential for improving safety controls and preventing adverse occurrences in high-risk sectors. This research reviews the literature on near-miss management and its significant impact on promoting safety culture in various industries, including chemical, oil, and gas. Using a systematic review approach, the paper identifies gaps in current literature and practice through empirical analyses, case studies, and safety audit records, highlighting the frequent overlooking of near-miss reporting due to cultural and systemic limitations and lack of leadership support.
