Construction Site Near-Miss Incident Report

Construction sites are dynamic environments where safety is paramount. Near-miss incidents—events that could have resulted in injury, illness, or damage but didn't—are critical learning opportunities that help prevent future accidents. This Construction Site Near-Miss Incident Report template gives construction managers, safety officers, and site supervisors a structured way to document, analyze, and act on potential hazards before they cause harm.

Built for construction companies, contractors, and trades professionals, this form captures every detail needed for thorough near-miss reporting: incident location, description, environmental factors, photo evidence, witness accounts, and immediate corrective actions. The form's conditional logic adapts based on severity level and injury potential, ensuring the right follow-up questions are asked every time.

Using Paperform's image upload fields, workers can attach photos of hazards directly from their mobile devices on-site, creating a visual record that supports investigation and training. Witness statement fields allow multiple team members to contribute their perspectives, building a complete picture of what happened and why. The form automatically timestamps submissions and can trigger notifications to safety managers via Stepper, your AI-native workflow builder, ensuring rapid response to high-priority incidents.

For construction firms managing multiple projects, this template integrates seamlessly with your existing safety management systems. Connect submissions to project management tools, log incidents in spreadsheets or databases, and use Paperform's reporting features to identify trends across sites. Whether you're a general contractor, specialty trade company, or site safety coordinator, this form helps you build a proactive safety culture that learns from close calls and protects your workforce.

SOC 2 Type II compliant and trusted by safety-conscious teams worldwide, Paperform gives you the tools to turn near-miss reporting from a paperwork burden into a genuine driver of continuous safety improvement.
