In addition to unit-level internal documentation (outlined in EM1: Incident Response Guidance), any incidents designated as "High Risk" must be reported to the relevant authority, which in some cases includes engaging an external agency or law enforcement.
A High Risk Incident originates from a hazard or unsafe condition in the program or the environment. The incident poses a serious risk to an individual or group. This may also include a “near miss,” (i.e., a hazard that if not addressed could cause harm in the future).
Refer to Table 1 for reporting and escalation protocol.
