You should only move a patient immediately if there is immediate danger to the patient if they are not moved, such as a fire or chance of fire, explosives or hazardous materials nearby, inability to protect the patient from other hazards on scene, inability to gain access to other patients in a vehicle that need life -saving care, or if life -saving care cannot be given because of their location or position.
