  • How Near Misses Impact Workers Emotionally
    In this powerful episode, Alex and Emily discuss the often-overlooked psychological impact of near misses in the workplace. A near miss is an incident where no injury or damage occurs but has the potential to. A near miss may seem like a lucky escape, but for many workers, the emotional and mental consequences linger long after the danger has passed.
    Whether you're a safety professional, HR leader, or worker who has experienced a close call, this conversation acknowledges and addresses why identifying the psychological impact of near misses is vital for mental well-being and long-term performance.
