Also known as:
safety incident, QHSE incident, quality incident
At a glance
Definition
An incident is an unplanned event or condition that requires assessment and, depending on severity and context, investigation and follow-up. The term is used differently across safety, quality and operational environments, so organizations should define categories and reporting rules that fit their risk profile.
Why it matters
Incident terminology is a primary bridge into HSE/QHSE audiences. It allows Icologiq to position the value around consistent follow-up, learning and evidence rather than merely recording events.
