Ensure maintenance is performed by ______ ______.

Ensure maintenance is performed by ______ ______.

• A. designated supervisors
• B. authorized personnel
• C. supply clerks
• D. certified technicians

Answer: (B)

Maintenance on CBRN equipment must be performed by authorized personnel. Being authorized means the individual has explicit permission from the unit leadership to carry out maintenance tasks and has received the necessary training and guidance to do so safely and correctly. This ensures proper oversight, adherence to safety and security procedures, and a clear, auditable record of who performed the work. It also prevents unqualified or unauthorized individuals from adjusting or servicing sensitive gear, reducing the risk of mishandling or miscalibration. While designated supervisors oversee tasks and supply clerks handle logistics, the actual maintenance should be done by those who are authorized to perform it. Certified technicians may be included among authorized personnel, but the key requirement is that the person has formal authorization to maintain the equipment.
