Incident Management

407: Evaluate OHS incident management procedures

OHS professionals are usually involved in workplace incident management procedures. Incident management procedures enable organizations to effectively and consistently respond to OHS incidents in a way that meets their legal requirements and supports workers. In order to act as an effective resource in this area, an OHS professional should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the legislation, regulations, and standards that pertain to incident management.

In addition to understanding important concepts, an OHS professional should be able to work effectively in potentially high-responsibility, time-sensitive scenarios.
