What constitutes an 'Alcohol Incident'?

An 'Alcohol Incident' is defined by specifically involving the consumption of alcohol. This aligns with various guidelines and regulations in the maritime sector where the consumption itself is a critical factor in determining whether an incident qualifies as an 'Alcohol Incident.' Such incidents may have regulatory implications, reflecting on safety and compliance as alcohol consumption can impair judgment and lead to unsafe scenarios.

While being in a situation involving alcohol might suggest a context where incidents could occur, it does not inherently constitute an 'Alcohol Incident' unless consumption is also present. Thus, the focus on actual consumption is what makes the definition precise and applicable in contexts where safety and responsible behavior regarding alcohol are assessed.
