What’s the difference between a NEAR MISS and a POTENTIAL INCIDENT??

A NEAR MISS is when an incident/something unplanned DID happen but no-one got injured, nothing got broken and nothing was spilt to environment.

Example, an object was dropped by a crane but it didn’t hit anybody.

A POTENTIAL INCIDENT is an unsafe act or condition or dangerous practise that could result in an incident but the incident DID NOT happen.

Example, a worker wearing a harness when working at height but not attaching it to anything BUT HE DID NOT FALL.
