An industry standard definition of mishap, provided in MIL-STD-882D, is An unplanned event or series of events resulting in death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. It should be noted that in system safety, the term mishap is synonymous with accident. A mishap is effectively an actualized hazard, whereby the hazard transitions from the dormant conditional state to the active mishap event state. The three required components of a hazard predefine the mishap. A mishap would not be possible without the preexistence of a hazard. A mishap is an actual event that has occurred and has resulted in an undesired outcome. Mishaps and a hazards are directly related, they are linked together by risk and state space. A mishap is an actuated hazard it is the direct result of a potential hazard, when the hazard s IMs (or causal factors) occurs, transitioning the hazard from a potential condition state to a mishap event state with loss outcome. 

Several organisations have lately established electronic databases, recording details of industrial chemical accidents. These should enable the user to learn lfom others mistakes and also establish a fixed version of accidents, which hitherto have changed in the retelling, and the more important have often been retold. The two above are examples of a wider trend. All tend to reflect the pre-occupations of their compilers, which are generally not so much the precise chemical causes of the mishap, but its effects. 

Incidents as a term is to encompass all hazards-related events (HAZRINS) that have been referred to as accidents, mishaps, near misses, occupational illnesses, environmental spills, losses, fires, explosions, et cetera.
