I'm a swede and I din't know if we got other procedures than you guys in the uk. But here's how we do it.
First of all the controller/controllers that were directly controlling the situation are taken out of the shift asap, other affected might be aswell. They (affected controllers and watch supervisor) listen to the tapes(and/or watch radardata) asap and gets debreifed with the watch supervisor and if possible with other affected controllers from nearby units, face to face or by phone.
They also get to go to a psychologist(mandatory) as soon as possible and are suspended until the chief of operations in charge see fit. Usually the day of occurence and the day after, depending on the seriousness of the situation.
