Missed Triggers Penalty Confusion

Studying the IPG at the moment.

Does a player get a game loss for 4 non-detrimental missed triggers?

And if there is a non-detrimental missed trigger do we record a penalty for it on the match slip?

The part that's getting me is that the penalty for a missed trigger is “none” ( barring detrimental triggers)

Thanks in advance

There is no penalty for missing a non-detrimental trigger.
You don't need to write anything on the slip.

So just making 100 percent sure. If it happened 4 times, it's effectively 4x0penaltys so no game loss. Correct?

If it happens 4 times, no penalty exists to be upgraded. If it happens 40 times, you might have a chat with the player about being more careful - it's to his or her benefit, after all.
