A very important feature of the just culture and the reckless conduct standard is that the disciplinary action is not dependent on the event's outcome.

For example, the person with reckless conduct who was involved in a near miss event should be disciplined in the same manner as the person whose reckless conduct caused a misadventure.

In fact, many organizations adopting the just culture and the reckless conduct standard write into their disciplinary policy that NOT reporting an event is a punishable action.
