Frequently Asked Questions

The goal of incident management is to implement the right measures to mitigate risks and hazards to minimize impact on business operations and maintain service quality. This involves analyzing previous incidents, making changes in operations to address them and avoid them from happening again, and proper recordkeeping.

In some places, a near miss and an incident can be the same thing. However, typically, they are defined differently.

An incident is any event that disrupts work, sometimes causing property damage or harm, if frequently occurring. On the other hand, a near miss is a type of incident that has affected work, and has the potential to cause serious harm or issues if not mitigated early on.

An accident is any unexpected event that can lead to harm or property damage. In some cases, this is used interchangeably with incident, as they have similar meanings. However, incidents do not always lead to harm, which is a key differentiator.

Common best practices for efficient incident management include the following:

  • Identifying possible causes for incidents early on
  • Ensuring workplaces are clean and tidy
  • Training workers on proper safety measures
  • Automating manual tasks to reduce chances of errors that can lead to incidents
  • Establishing effective communication practices
  • Creating a dedicated emergency response team for all cases
  • Managing efficient documentation processes and analysis techniques

The best way to measure the effectiveness of your incident management systems will be to utilize a digital operations tool. By using a digital tool, you can record what practices are working and analyze what isn’t, collating all data in one place. This way, you can easily refer to recorded incidents for further study, continuously perform analyses, and measure the success of your incident management initiatives.
