Which action is recommended when you discover a suspicious package?

• A. Do not disturb the device
• B. Do not disturb the device, mark location and route, and notify EOD
• C. Move the package to a different location
• D. Ignore and continue working

Answer: (B)

When a package looks suspicious, safety comes first: do not touch or move it, and get it contained and documented so trained responders can handle it. Not disturbing the package prevents triggering any explosive device and avoids dispersal of dangerous materials. Marking the exact location and the route to reach it helps responders understand the risk, preserve evidence, and plan a safe approach. Notify Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) or the appropriate authorities right away so they can evaluate and dispose of the threat using established procedures. This approach minimizes risk to people and property and leads to a controlled, safe resolution.
