Simply the difference between two terms is that; Accident results in loss of property or injuries/fatality, but Near miss is an accident occurred but with no loss of property or injuries/fatality.
Instead of speculating, I would refer to official sources such as OGP Glossary 244, which states that : Incident is an event or chain of events which has caused or could have caused injury, illness and /or damage (loss) to assets, the environment or third parties. This means that Near-Miss is also an incident no matter of its magnitude.
Incident is an event or chain of event that could cause harm to people or property damage whilst Near miss is unplanned event but not result for any injury, illness or damage to property.
There is no difference... The opposite of either is an accident,,, ergo an event resulting in *Injury, harm, damage or a loss*... By definition, near misses and/or incidents do 'Not' result in 'Injury, harm, damage or loss.. But in other circumstances could have.
A near miss is an act that under different circumstances could of caused harm. This is not just people but can also include property and machinery. An incident is an act that has caused harm or damage, whether this is through an accident or "act of god" would be deciphered through an investigation.
