Safety-recovery is a human-made categorization of the coordinated processes activated after a safety incident to restore normal operations, mitigate damage, and stabilize affected systems and personnel. Its parameters include: (1) triggering conditions (incident severity thresholds, operational impact criteria), (2) response phase (immediate stabilization, recovery execution, return-to-normal), (3) responsible actors (incident commanders, recovery teams, subject-matter experts), and (4) success criteria (restored function, reduced risk to baseline). It persists through documented recovery plans, trained response teams, exercised procedures, and post-incident after-action reviews.

Definition
Why it is in scope
The human-made practice of restoring operations and wellbeing after a safety incident — encompassing emergency response, damage mitigation, operational resumption, and post-event stabilization. Built to persist through documented procedures, incident action plans, and trained response teams that activate when normal safety controls have failed.

Safety-recovery is built and maintained for the sake of safety-management: incident recovery plans are a core component of any safety management system, recovery teams report through safety management channels, and the success criteria of recovery (restored function, reduced risk) serve the overall safety management objective. Servant→master direction confirmed.
