Incident

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. (The word ‘accident’ is used by some writers and organisations to denote an incident which has caused injury, illness and/or damage, but the term also has connotations of ‘bad luck’ in common speech, and is therefore avoided by others. In these guidelines, only the term ‘incident’ has been used—in the above sense which embraces the concept of ‘accident’.)

Extended Definition: actions may be implemented prior to, during, or after an incident occurrence. Sample Usage: Through the use of mitigation measures, the impact of the tsunami on the local population was greatly reduced.
