Abstract

Despite the fact that near miss incident plays an important role in the evaluation and improvement of workplace safety, there is limited work on identifying the reasons and providing solutions to curtail near miss incidents at workplace. The current study looks to fill this void by proposing safety-specific leadership approach to combat near miss incidents. Furthermore, the study also discussed that the mechanism through which safety-leadership impact near misses is not direct rather it is achieved by strengthening follower’s safety climate perceptions. The practical contributions of the proposed research agenda is also discussed.
