Incident

An incident refers to any unplanned event that disrupts normal operations and has the potential to cause injury, damage, or loss. Incidents can be broadly categorized into:

  • Accidents: These are unexpected events that result in injury, illness, property damage, or even death.
  • Near Misses: These are events that could have resulted in injury or damage but did not, often due to a fortunate break in the chain of events.

In the UK, incidents must be reported under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) if they meet certain criteria, such as causing death, specified injuries, or incapacitating a worker for more than seven days
