During which step does the relieving specialist verify the correctness of information received?

• A. Preview the position
• B. Review the position
• C. Verbal briefing
• D. Status update

Answer: (B)

The act of verifying the information you’ve received happens during the review of the position. In this step you go through the details you were given, check them against sources like records or current reports, confirm key items (who’s on scene, current status, active tasks, safety considerations), and look for any discrepancies. This ensures the incoming person is taking over with accurate, up-to-date information. Previewing the position is about getting a sense of what to expect next, not about confirming correctness. Verbal briefing is the step where you communicate the now-verified information to others. Status update focuses on reporting the current state, not the verification process.
