Who is responsible for initiating MPPEH reporting process at the point of discovery?

• A. The supervisor
• B. The EOD team
• C. The person who discovers MPPEH
• D. The designated site safety officer

Answer: (C)

In MPPEH procedures, the first person to know about a potential explosive hazard is responsible for starting the reporting process. This ensures the hazard is addressed immediately by the person closest to it, who can quickly communicate the situation and stop nonessential activity, establish a safe perimeter, and notify the proper authorities. The supervisor, EOD team, and designated site safety officer all play important roles in handling and resolving the hazard, but the initial disclosure and initiation of the reporting chain rests with the person who discovers MPPEH. This rapid, direct reporting helps ensure an appropriate and timely response to protect personnel and prevent accidents.
