What must be accomplished prior to un-packaging and handling any EID?

• A. Follow all instructions
• B. Inspect the packaging
• C. Verify packaging serial number
• D. Notify supervisor

Answer: (A)

Before unpackaging any EID, you must follow all instructions provided with the item or by the safety procedure. Those instructions spell out exactly how to handle and unpack safely, including what PPE to wear, what tools to use, the correct orientation, and the steps to take if something seems off. They may require inspecting the packaging, verifying identifiers, and notifying a supervisor, but none of those actions alone is enough—each is part of the overall, approved method. Skipping any part of the instructions can expose you to unexpected hazards or misidentify the item, so the safest approach is to adhere to the entire instruction set.
