Close the loop on every incident, near miss, and hazard report — with proof it actually got fixed.

Incident-to-Correction Kit — Incident, Near-Miss & Corrective Action Control

Built for facilities that need incident, near-miss, and corrective-action records they can produce the moment leadership, an insurer, or OSHA asks for them.

The Problem

Most facilities are decent at writing the incident report. Almost none can show what changed as a result. The corrective action is either verbal, undocumented, or "in progress" for six months. That gap is what turns a near miss into the next injury.

What This Kit Does

This kit takes the reporting-to-closure loop and turns it into a controlled sequence: report, investigate, correct, verify, communicate, and prevent repeat. No item stays open without an owner and a due date.

Correction Closure Index™ + Root Cause Ladder™

The Correction Closure Index™ scores whether an incident, near miss, hazard observation, or complaint was actually closed — not just reported. The Root Cause Ladder™ walks the team from the event, to the direct cause, to the system weakness, to the control gap, to the corrective action that prevents the next occurrence.

What This Kit Gets You

Every incident owned, tracked, and closed

The corrective action tracker ends the "who was supposed to fix that?" conversation. Owner, due date, verification, and closure evidence live in one place.

Root cause work that moves past "employee error"

The Root Cause Ladder™ forces the analysis past the first surface cause and into the system that allowed the event to happen. That’s where repeat prevention actually lives.

A near-miss log that’s taken seriously

Near misses get the same investigation treatment as recordables. The pattern is what an inspector or insurer will ask about — not the individual near miss.

Employee communication proof

When a corrective action changes a work practice, the kit documents that employees were informed — not just that the change was made in the file cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a 300-log replacement?

No. This kit sits on top of your OSHA 300/300A/301 recordkeeping. The 300 log records what qualifies. This kit tracks what got fixed — which is what an inspector, insurer, or plaintiff’s attorney will ask about next.

Why include near misses?

Because near-miss investigation is where recordable prevention actually happens. A pattern of near misses at the same task is the exact evidence trail that turns into "the employer knew or should have known" — the phrase inside most General Duty Clause citations.

How does the Root Cause Ladder differ from a 5-Why?

The ladder is designed for supervisors, not investigators. It moves in five defined steps — event, direct cause, contributing conditions, system weakness, corrective action — so the analysis lands on a control gap the facility can actually change.
