A critical incident is any event that:

• Involves actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence

• Causes significant psychological distress to witness or participants

• Disrupts normal workplace operations

• Has the potential to cause ongoing psychological harm

In this guide we discuss our 3-pillar response framework to critical incidents and go through some example scenarios to help you understand the best practice protocols and procedures that will ensure your team is supported in the short, medium and long term.

Key Takeaway: The goal isn’t to prevent all critical incidents, but to respond in ways that support recovery and prevent long-term psychological harm. Foremind’s approach to critical incident response recognises that the quality of the response significantly impacts long-term outcomes.
