Post-Incident Clearance is a structured evaluation and support workflow initiated after a critical workplace event — such as a use-of-force incident, workplace violence, industrial accident with fatality, or other traumatic exposure. The process ensures affected employees receive appropriate psychological support and are formally cleared before returning to full duty.

A post-incident clearance workflow typically includes an initial defusing session (within 24-72 hours), a formal psychological evaluation when indicated, and a structured clearance process with documented fitness determination. For first responder agencies, this may include coordination with peer support teams and chaplains.

BlueHive helps organizations establish and execute post-incident clearance protocols that meet regulatory requirements, support employee well-being, and reduce long-term liability from PTSD-related claims.
