“…Such actions enhance system safety through proactive reporting, as suggested by Rubin et al [50] and Ringstad and Szameitat [71]. The perspectives of respondents on O&G organizations to see voluntary safety reporting as a valuable tool for continuous system risk monitoring and safety improvements aligns with the findings of Collia and Moreau [16], Gnoni et al [20], and Okafor et al [72]. Finally, organization-level safety officers can obtain valuable safety intelligence through the analysis of such databases and use it to formulate safety risk management tools.…”

To fill a gap in understanding of the Generative Voluntary Safety Reporting Culture (GVSRC) in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Oil and Gas (O&G) sector, perspectives of stakeholders based on their experiences were explored using attributes of a proposed Offshore Safety Action Program (OSAP) modeled after the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). A phenomenological approach encompassing semi-structured interviews (n = 18) and five focus-group sessions (n = 18) was used to collect data from a cross-section of top management, supervisors, regulatory representatives, and subject-matter experts (SME). Four themes emerged from a Thematic Analysis: (1) Voluntary safety reporting culture, (2) Voluntary safety reporting bottlenecks, (3) Universality, and (4) Organizational review of safety events. Most respondents strongly supported the OSAP because it ensures a formalized adjudication of voluntary safety reports by an Event Review Committee (ERC) with representation from employees, management, and regulators. Most respondents supported the non-punitive and confidential attributes of the OSAP as a means to enhance GVSRC. However, there were varying perspectives on defining intentional disregard for safety under the OSAP. Due to the enumerated challenges of cost, respondents agreed that organizations use a scalable process commensurate with the complexity of their operations when adopting the OSAP. A veritable framework for data-driven corrective actions, organizational learning, and enhanced GVSRC in the offshore sector is a potential policy implication of adopting the OSAP.

“…The voluntary reporting of near-miss events and proper management can contribute to the improvement of safety procedures [19]. Gnoni et al [20] opine that the voluntary reporting of near-misses has intrinsic value and represents a relevant source of proactive safety data for preventing workplace accidents.…”

“…In addition, the nurses stated that they did not always report near-misses to the Adverse Event Reporting System; thus, first-order problem-solving behaviour dominates. Finally, unlike organizations in other high-risk industries, most healthcare organizations in China do not have a separate near-miss reporting system; thus, nurses may believe that reporting near-misses may damage their reputation and bring them shame and criticism [ 9 , 12 , 42 ]. Fortunately, with the increasing awareness of the importance of near-misses, an increasing number of healthcare managers and researchers have advocated a separate near-miss reporting system [ 37 , 43 ].…”

“…Although it is required to report near-misses to the Adverse Event Reporting System based on regulations, most nurses did not comply with this regulation. The researchers noted contradictory perspectives on near-miss reporting protocols at the individual, group and organizational levels; this inconsistency in near-miss cognition also exists in other industries [ 12 ]. These two features indicate poor feedback learning for near-misses in this nursing organization, which damages organizational learning [ 19 ].…”

“…Only a few studies have attempted to explore near-misses from the organizational learning perspective, and most of them lacked the guidance of organizational learning theory[ 10 , 11 ]. Other high-risk industries have developed far more advanced near-miss organizational learning than the healthcare industry, including sophisticated near-miss management systems, applied remote sensing techniques, wearable devices and data mining to increase efficiency in knowledge production, knowledge dissemination and knowledge exploitation[ 12 ]. To close this gap, it is vital to obtain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of near-miss organizational learning in the healthcare industry and clarify future research directions.…”

Background Near-miss organizational learning is important for perspective and proactive risk management. Although nursing organizations are the largest component of the healthcare system and act as the final safety barrier, there is little research about the current status of near-miss organizational learning. Thus, we conducted this study to explore near-miss organizational learning in a Chinese nursing organization and offer suggestions for future improvement. Methods This was a mixed methods study with an explanatory sequence. It was conducted in a Chinese nursing organization of a tertiary hospital under the guidance of the 4I Framework of Organizational Learning. The quantitative study surveyed 600 nurses by simple random sampling. Then, we applied purposive sampling to recruit 16 nurses across managerial levels from low-, middle- and high-scored nursing units and conducted semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics, structured equation modelling and content analysis were applied in the data analysis. The Good Reporting of A Mixed Methods Study (GRAMMS) checklist was used to report this study. Results Only 33% of participants correctly recognized near-misses, and 4% of participants always reported near-misses. The 4I Framework of Organizational Learning was verified in the surveyed nursing organization (χ2 = 0.775, p = 0.379, RMSEA < 0.01). The current organizational learning behaviour was not conducive to near-miss organizational learning due to poor group-level learning (βGG = 0.284) and poor learning absorption (βMisalignment= -0.339). In addition, the researchers developed 13 codes, 9 categories and 5 themes to depict near-miss organizational learning, which were characterized by nurses’ unfamiliarity with near-misses, preferences and the dominance of first-order problem-solving behaviour, the suspension of near-miss learning at the group level and poor learning absorption. Conclusion The performance of near-miss organizational learning is unsatisfactory across all levels in surveyed nursing organization, especially with regard to group-level learning and poor learning absorption. Our research findings offer a scientific and comprehensive description of near-miss organizational learning and shed light on how to measure and improve near-miss organizational learning in the future.
