#MyCloseCall Campaign: Turning "Almosts" into Action

​"Safety isn't just for the workplace. It's at home, on the road, and everywhere in between. The #MyCloseCall campaign reminds us of the lessons behind the 'almosts' — those moments where things could have gone terribly wrong but didn't. These stories can save lives."

​— Femi Da-Silva, CEO, HSENations - AfriSAFE

About the Campaign

#MyCloseCall is a pan-African safety campaign built around real stories — those “almost” moments that could’ve gone badly but didn’t. We use these near-miss experiences to share lessons in a way that actually sticks. No boring stats — just real people, real talk.

Your story could help someone else avoid the same mistake. Sometimes one honest moment is all it takes to open someone’s eyes and keep them safe.

Why Your Story Matters

  • 2.3 million people die annually from preventable work-related accidents or diseases (ILO).
  •  270,000 lives are lost on African roads each year due to distracted driving and poor safety awareness (WHO)
