What does the color green indicate in the START system?

Immediate need for help
Minor injuries, able to walk
Injuries with high priority
Injuries that require rapid intervention

The correct answer is: Minor injuries, able to walk

In the START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) system, the color green is used to signify that a person has minor injuries and is able to walk. This categorization helps first responders prioritize individuals based on the severity of their injuries and the level of assistance they require. The green designation allows responders to identify those who are less critically injured and can self-evacuate or wait longer for help, thereby allowing resources to be allocated to those who have more urgent medical needs. By classifying individuals in this manner, it promotes an effective triage process during emergency situations, ensuring that the most critical cases receive attention first.
