How long do you have to report a CAT 2 SIR?

Reporting a Category 2 Serious Incident Report (SIR) within 24 hours is essential to ensure that timely investigations and responses can be conducted. This timeframe reflects the urgency of assessing the situation while still allowing sufficient time for gathering initial facts and compiling necessary information. Category 2 incidents, while not as critical as Category 1 incidents, could still entail significant events that require attention to ensure that corrective actions are considered, and risks are managed effectively.

By establishing a 24-hour reporting requirement, the protocol underscores the importance of swift communication in maintaining operational integrity and safety. This timeframe also helps facilitate a coordinated response and ensures that relevant stakeholders are informed promptly, supporting overall mission effectiveness.
