The paper proposes innovative design of a NMS based on the integration of principles of Lean Management in occupational safety for a worldwide automotive supplier firm. Thus, the application of these principles forces firms to define new approaches to design and manage the whole organization and consequently the safety management system. The Lean Thinking (or Management) strategy currently represents a worldwide competitive tool for improving productivity in the manufacturing sector all over the world. Few examples occur in manufacturing processes which are characterized by different operational conditions at workplace and, consequently, different risk types. These systems are widespread in industrial contexts characterized by a high risk level, such as major hazard and hospital sectors. An effective NMS aims to recognize signals from the operational field in order to apply more effective prevention strategies. A critical component of a safety management system is the Near-miss Management System (NMS).
