Near Miss Today → Safer Teams Tomorrow

When a near-miss happens on site, the clock starts ticking. If you wait a week—or even just a few days—to respond, the impact fades. People move on. The urgency disappears. And with it, the opportunity to drive safer behavior and create safer teams.
That’s why speed matters.
Traditional digital learning systems can’t keep pace. They’re slow to update, often requiring scripts, instructional designers, and production cycles that drag the message out long past its moment of relevance.
LUMA1 changes that.
Why Speed Matters for Safer Teams
The difference between a lesson that sticks and one that’s forgotten is often timing. The closer you are to the event, the more real it feels for the people involved.
Think of a near-miss as a spark. It can either fizzle out or ignite real change.
With LUMA1, you don’t need studios, agencies or specialists. You need a phone (even a quick PowerPoint - LUMA1 converts that to video), someone on the crew, and a willingness to share the lesson in real time.
How It Works:
Film It Where It Happened – A quick clip from the phone in your pocket.
Tell the Story – What happened. Why it matters.
Show the Change – What to do differently.
Add a Knowledge Check – Make sure the fix is understood.
No script. No delays. No admin bottleneck.
Hook your team in the first 3 seconds, keep it watchable, and ship it fast. That’s how close calls turn into safer teams.
Real Example from the Field
This week: a retaining pin wasn’t fully seated before towing. No damage occurred, but it could have been costly.
Instead of filing paperwork and moving on, the crew filmed a 90-second video, shared it directly with the gangs on shift, and closed the loop immediately.
Problem identified. Problem solved. Lesson learned.
The Big Idea
Near-misses are teaching moments—but only if you act while people are still open to listening and learning.
With LUMA1, you can capture, share, and fix issues in minutes.
That’s not “training admin.” That’s how you build safer, smarter teams.
