In STOP DROP REVIEW, DROP requires you to do which?

• A. Keep your hands away from the door and arming lever
• B. Move the arming lever to the DISARMED position
• C. Put your hands down and look at the door and arming lever
• D. Visually check that the door is disarmed

Answer: (C)

The essential idea is to verify door status by adopting a safe posture and visually inspecting the door and arming lever. In the DROP step of STOP DROP REVIEW, you lower your hands and focus your attention on the door and its arming lever to confirm that the door is disarmed. This helps prevent accidental arming and ensures everyone nearby has a clear view of the hardware before proceeding. Moving the arming lever or keeping your hands up would not fulfill the DROP step, and simply looking without lowering your hands misses the specific action required. By putting your hands down and visually checking, you combine a calm, stable position with a clear visual confirmation of disarmed status.
