Who is responsible for placing samples into an Overpack?

The Sampler Collector is the individual responsible for placing samples into an Overpack. This role is critical during CBRN reconnaissance operations as it ensures that collected samples, which may potentially be hazardous, are safely placed into containers designed to prevent leaks and protect personnel from exposure. The Sampler Collector follows established protocols and safety measures to handle the samples appropriately, ensuring their integrity for future analysis.

The responsibilities of the Sampler Collector extend beyond just handling samples; they must also be knowledgeable about the types of samples being collected, understand the procedures for their packaging, and ensure compliance with legal and safety regulations. This expertise is vital in maintaining the integrity of both the samples and the safety of personnel involved in the reconnaissance operation.
