Note
Only the noun can be counted like this. The adjective incident, used of light falling on or striking a surface, takes no plural, so the -s form always means a set of separate events. It is the form that reports and logs use when they tally disruptions one by one: workplace illnesses, software errors, aircraft events, each a countable case.
