Potential uses and limitations:
Worksites can devise their own checklist based on their specific context, identifying critical and potentially traumatic events that occur in their site. The examples provided are of critical incidents, but could be adapted to the specific kinds of traumatic material encountered in a worksite, to provide a quantitative survey of trauma exposure.

WARNING: THE CHECKLIST ASKS DIRECT QUESTIONS ABOUT CRITICAL INCIDENT SCENARIOS THAT MAY BE CONFRONTING AND/OR DISTRESSING.
