Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to conduct and assess incident exercises.

An incident is an unintended event, or an unintended consequence of an intended event, such as:
- fire and explosion
- loss of containment
- excursions above/below acceptable limits for emissions or plant conditions
- excursions above occupational hygiene or biological exposure limits
- non-compliance with regulatory requirements
