Critical Incidents in the workplace can occur in a variety of different forms and can include workplace accidents, sudden death or injury of a worker or client, as well as unforeseen staff redundancies. If such incidents occur, your workforce or other stakeholder may be affected in different ways. Some common responses include, stress, fatigue, withdrawal, absenteeism and job uncertainty.
Responding to a critical incident is a specific intervention that assists individuals and the workplaces they work within to readjust by helping to minimise the number of individuals who may develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
