After incident stabilization, the next step in the rescue recovery incident process is?

• A. Stand-down
• B. Lockout and tagout systems
• C. Transport
• D. Triage

Answer: (C)

When hazards are under control and immediate life threats on scene have been stabilized, the priority shifts to getting injured people to definitive medical care. Transport off the scene allows hospital treatment to begin promptly and lets responders focus on remaining rescue and recovery tasks. Triage helps determine who needs urgent transport, but the actual movement of patients to care is the next step. Stand-down refers to winding down operations, and lockout/tagout relates to isolating energy sources in technical settings, not the rescue-recovery sequence. So moving casualties to medical facilities is the next step.
