Critical Incident / Trauma Debriefing

What is Critical Incident Debriefing (CID) and Trauma Assistance?
A critical incident is any event that is sudden, overwhelming, threatening or protracted. Typical examples may include assault, robbery, severe injury, death, fire or a bomb threat. Critical Incident Stress Management aims to help workers deal with the normal emotional reactions that may result from involvement in or exposure to critical incidents in the workplace

A critical incident can be overwhelming and cause distress likely to result in stress related claims and a decline in morale and performance.

Employers under OHS legislation are required to demonstrate Duty of Care to their employees in these situations.
