How should you interact with training aids that resemble munitions?

Training aids that resemble munitions must be treated as potentially dangerous until you can verify they are inert. This cautious approach is essential because items designed for training can look just like live ordnance, and assuming they’re inert without verification risks serious harm. Follow the established safety procedures for verification and handling—notify a supervisor or qualified personnel, secure the area, and use the approved methods to confirm inert status before proceeding. Discarding them after use, or storing them with live munitions, or treating them as inert without verification, all bypass the necessary checks and can create dangerous situations. By sticking to the verification-and-safe-handling process, you maintain a consistent, safety-first approach to anything that resembles munitions.
