Which action should be taken when reporting a suspicious package?

• A. Do not touch the package
• B. Move the package to a secure location
• C. Open it to inspect contents
• D. Ignore it

Answer: (A)

Preserving safety is the first priority when encountering a suspicious package. Do not touch the package, move it, or open it. Handling could trigger a device, release hazardous materials, or contaminate evidence. Instead, immediately report the situation to a supervisor or emergency services, provide the exact location and any details you observed, and establish a safe perimeter to keep others away until responders arrive. Follow all instructions from authorities. Ignoring it or attempting to inspect it would only increase the risk.
