Which is not a HERO requirement that must be implemented when handling an ordnance

• A. Wear anti-static gloves during handling
• B. Ensure anti-static gloves are worn during handling duration/transportation
• C. Use static-dissipative mats
• D. Maintain shielding around EMR sources

Answer: (B)

Static electricity control is the key idea in HERO when handling ordnance. Wearing anti-static gloves during handling helps prevent a static discharge that could initiate a round or affect sensitive components. Using static-dissipative mats on work surfaces reduces buildup of static charge in the area where you’re working, and maintaining shielding around EMR sources limits electromagnetic interference or unwanted activation of the ordnance.

The statement about anti-static gloves being worn during the entire handling duration and during transportation isn't a standard HERO requirement. HERO controls are applied to the handling activities themselves, not to the transport phase once the ordnance is secured or isolated from direct contact. So that particular phrasing goes beyond what HERO requires for the handling task, making it the item that is not a HERO requirement.
