A near miss is an event that could have caused an injury or damage but didn't. Logging every near miss helps you spot hazards early and fix them before someone gets hurt. Predominantly Near Misses will be logged on the mobile app, but they are easy to log on web too.
Recording a near miss (from Site Notes Tab)
Select Chime Time tile
Select the Site Notes tab.
Select Add New Site Note button
Choose your site from the site picker.
Describe what happened
Include where it happened, what the hazard was and anything that was done straight away to make the area safe.
Tick the Near Miss box
This marks the note as a near miss rather than a general site note.
Upload an image if you need to.
This is optional. A photo is useful for showing a delivery, progress or a hazard.
Select Save.

Use Case
Site teams will mostly log near misses on their mobile app. However, this is useful for when you need to log a near miss from your desk, such as one reported to you by phone / email.
Tips
Log near misses as soon as you can, while the details are still fresh.
Always tick Near Miss. Without it, the entry is saved as a general site note.
On site? Operatives can log a near miss straight from the Chime app. See Recording a Near Miss.
