Iowa City – October 29, 2026 -- Sixty-three percent of industrial professionals surveyed say fewer than 5% of frontline workers file a hazard, near-miss or safety report each month, or that their site doesn't track the figure, according to the Frontline Risk Study 2026 from Teamforce AI.

Participation is low and static at 38% of sites

Thirty-eight percent of respondents report under 5% monthly participation, and another 25% don't track it. Of the 23 respondents in the under-5% group, 19 say the rate hasn't moved in a year.

Digital reporting tools lift participation at only some sites

Among sites that track reporting, 15 of 30 with EHS software or an app exceed 15% participation. No site without such tools reached that level. Still, 20 of the 39 sites with these tools are under 5% or don't track the rate.
