In order to reduce the incident count for an incident type in an Operational Category, you will need to delete the corresponding Supplemental Incident Report.

You can delete a SIR by clicking the **Delete** button at the bottom of the SIR you would like to remove.

<Tip>
  In this example, the selected SIR is a *Restricted Work* incident in the *US-Land* category. Initially, the incident count is 2 for this type.
