Maintain structured near-miss records with context: Before expansion, what evidence should governance require?
Record near misses and their context; lack of harm does not eliminate their value for detecting recurring risks.
The question
For an EU deployment subject to applicable EU AI Act obligations and the company’s internal monitoring policy, an energy company’s maintenance assistant makes a recommendation rejected by a technician because of a hidden unsafe assumption. No harm occurred. Before expansion, what evidence should governance require?

- Log confirmed injuries and equipment damage.A harm-only log excludes near misses that may reveal recurring unsafe assumptions before injury or damage occurs.
- Have supervisors discuss concerns at the next scheduled safety meeting.A meeting may surface concerns, but without consistent records, context, actions, and trend analysis it is weak evidence for an expansion decision.
- Maintain structured near-miss records with context, feedback, actions, and patterns. ✓Structured near-miss records preserve the evidence needed to identify recurring failures, assess corrective action, and decide whether expansion is justified.
- Compare overall accuracy with the acceptance benchmark and retain the report.Aggregate accuracy does not show rejected unsafe recommendations, operating context, or whether corrective actions address a recurring failure mode.
The trap
Near misses are operational evidence: capture conditions, feedback, corrective action, and recurrence. How to remember it
Record near misses and their context; lack of harm does not eliminate their value for detecting recurring risks.
