A critical incident is an unexpected event that causes suffering and loss, and where the impact goes beyond the bounds of normal stress.
An aircraft emergency, natural disaster, a company being placed in receivership, facing a strike, merger, violence or threat are all examples of critical incidents in the workplace.
