Occurrence reporting
The BGA encourages a Just Culture, which encourages free and frank reporting and in turn provides valuable data that helps to identify trends. ‘Just Culture’ is ‘an atmosphere of trust in which people are encouraged (even rewarded) for providing essential safety-related information, but in which they are also clear about where the line must be drawn between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour’ (Professor James Reason, 1997).
Reporting near accidents, incidents, accidents and other unsafe situations provides really useful data that helps others avoid problems in the future. Some accidents must be reported.
