In the Galley area, which action is required if seals on trollies or boxes are not present or broken?

• A. Open and check inside of ovens
• B. Check contents and open all stowage areas
• C. Check waste bins and ensure no objects have been hidden behind boxes or trollies
• D. Verify seals intact on trollies and boxes, if seal not present or broken the trolley or borx must be hand searched

Answer: (D)

Tamper-evident seals indicate that a trolley or box has not been accessed since the last security check. When a seal is not present or is broken, you can no longer rely on the seal to prove contents are untouched, so the proper action is to perform a hand search of the trolley or box to physically verify there is nothing concealed or tampered with. This direct inspection ensures security is maintained even without trusted seal evidence.

Other options miss the core safety step. Opening ovens or broadly checking contents or waste bins doesn’t specifically address the security risk on the trolley or box when the seal is compromised, whereas a thorough hand search directly targets that risk.
