Near-Miss Incident

The description of less severe incidents (i.e., below the threshold for inclusion in a lagging metric), or unsafe conditions that activated one or more layers of protection. Although these events are actual events (i.e., a lagging metric), they are generally considered to be a good indicator of conditions that could ultimately lead to a severe incident.
