pSIF Spotter.
Train your eye to see what could have killed. The difference between a near miss and a fatality is often luck; this app builds the skill to recognise potential serious injury and fatality events before the luck runs out.
Why recognising pSIF matters.
Serious events are usually preceded by near misses. The question is whether anyone recognised them.
The iceberg
Behind every fatality sit many near misses with the same potential. Most go unrecognised and unreported.
Outcome bias
We judge an event by what happened, not by what could have happened. A minor injury gets minor attention, even when it was nearly fatal.
A skill you can train
Recognising pSIF is not intuition. It improves with practice, and practice is what the app gives.
The pSIF assessment.
The same five questions in every scenario.
Energy
What hazardous energies were present?
Exposure
How exposed was the person?
Variability
What made this outcome low in severity?
Counterfactual
Change one variable: does the severity change?
Classify
pSIF: yes, no, or escalate.
Try two scenarios.
From the planned library. Decide, then read the assessment.
A haul truck reversed close to a light vehicle. The driver of the light vehicle saw it coming and moved forward. No contact was made.
Could this have resulted in serious injury or death?
A worker stepped on a nail that went through their work boot. First aid only; they were back at work the next day.
Could this have resulted in serious injury or death?
