White Water Rafting Near Miss Report

White water rafting operators face unique safety challenges on the river, and documenting near miss incidents is critical for preventing future accidents and maintaining compliance with river permit requirements. This White Water Rafting Near Miss Report template helps rafting companies, guides, and outdoor recreation operators capture detailed incident information the moment it happens.

Whether you're running commercial rafting trips on Class III rapids or multi-day expeditions through wilderness areas, this form streamlines the process of documenting close calls, equipment failures, guide responses, and environmental factors that contributed to a potential incident. The structured format ensures you capture all the details needed for internal safety reviews, insurance documentation, and permit compliance reporting.

Paperform makes it easy for guides to submit reports from mobile devices right after returning from the river, with conditional logic that adapts the form based on incident type. Connect submissions to Stepper to automatically route reports to safety managers, trigger follow-up investigations for serious near misses, and update your safety management system—keeping your team focused on what matters most: keeping guests safe on the water.
