Correct answer: B — Follow the sequence of command, safety, communication, assessment, triage, treatment and transport.

Medical management of a major incident follows the CSCATTT sequence of command, safety, communication, assessment, triage, treatment and transport, ensuring the system is organised before individual care begins. Treating casualties before establishing command and safety undermines the whole response. Safety, covering self, scene and survivors, comes early in the framework.
