By capturing near miss events, a reporting system can also provide valuable data on recovery mechanisms or what actions or decisions prevented a misadventure from taking place. These recovery steps may then be "cloned."

Because many more near miss and no harm events occur than misadventures, capturing these events will provide rich data, allowing an organization to learn from mistakes and evaluate preventive measures.

Adequate data for analysis may also help prevent unnecessary, ineffective or harmful "corrective" measures that are quickly implemented in reaction to a single situation.
