For most organisations the purpose of a Major Incident Management Plan is to protect persons, environment, facilities, production and the community during and after a crisis.

A major incident can be described as any event that has affected, or is threatening to affect, the safety of persons, environment, property or production on a site, or in the community.

Examples of major incidents include:
• Fatality
• Major oil spill threatening the environment
• Explosion
• Fire threatening plant, people, environment
• Bomb threat
• Failure of critical plant
• Unwanted media attention
