Near misses are often the earliest indicators that risk is increasing, long before an injury, release, outage, or other significant event occurs. HECTOR™ transforms near miss reporting from a simple recordkeeping activity into a proactive risk intelligence process. The platform makes it easy for employees to report near misses in real time, route them for review, track corrective actions, identify recurring trends, and share lessons learned across the organization. By connecting near misses with hazards, controls, investigations, management of change, and other risk management processes, HECTOR helps organizations recognize weak signals before they become serious incidents. The result is a stronger learning culture, better-informed decisions, and continuous improvement driven by actionable insight rather than hindsight.
