Navy MPPEH Requirements Training Course Practice Test

Who must authorize opening a sealed MPPEH container?

Any site supervisor. Security guard. MPPEH program manager or EOD. The person who first discovers the container.

Correct Answer:

MPPEH program manager or EOD.

Explanation:

Opening a sealed MPPEH container is a hazardous operation that requires specialized authority because MPPEH can contain unexploded ordnance or other energetic hazards. Only someone with the proper training and authorization, such as the MPPEH program manager or Explosive Ordnance Disposal, can assess the specific item, determine the safest course of action, and supervise any opening or intervention. They coordinate safety measures, establish perimeters, and decide on how to handle the item—whether to open in a controlled way, render safe, or dispose of it. The person who discovers the container is not empowered to authorize opening, and a site supervisor or security guard does not possess the authority or expertise to make that call.
