Which document records when a member is outside the hazard zone?

• A. The worksheet
• B. The incident action plan
• C. The personnel file
• D. The schedule

Answer: (A)

Maintaining firefighter accountability is essential for safety, and the on-scene worksheet is the tool used to record each member’s status, including when someone moves outside the hazard zone. This worksheet provides a live, visible log of who is inside, outside, or assigned to rehab, helping the IC keep track of every person and respond quickly if someone becomes unaccounted for. The incident action plan covers overall goals, tactics, and assignments for the incident but isn’t the log that documents individual location moves. The personnel file is HR and training information, not an operational record for the scene. The schedule shows who is planned to be on duty, but it doesn’t track real-time movement or status during the incident.
