The objectives were to survey MR safety incidents in Sweden during a 12-month period, to assess severity scores, and to evaluate the confidence of MR personnel in incident-reporting mechanisms. ⋯ • Safety incidents in clinical MR environments still result in human injury and material damage. • Severity level of MR incidents-assessed using Swedish national risk assessment recommendations-is high. • Confidence of MR personnel in incident-reporting mechanisms is high, but reflects a false sense of security, as a high proportion of staff is unaware of reported incidents in the same workplace.
