Aviation Ordnanceman (AO) Strand Practice Test

Hazard warnings and caution labels are there to communicate risk and the required precautions to anyone who might handle or be near ordnance. They flag dangerous energetic materials and tell you the actions needed to stay safe—like keeping a safe distance, using the proper protective equipment, or following specific handling procedures. This is essential for safety, training, and compliance, helping ensure that only qualified personnel work with or around ordnance and that the risks are understood before any handling, storage, or transport. Labels that identify manufacturing lots, maintenance schedules, or dictate classification serve different purposes and don’t convey the safety precautions needed to prevent harm.
