What is the first step to don PBE?

Explanation:
Opening the storage case is the first step because it provides access to the PBE and sets up the donning sequence. The case protects the device until you’re ready to use it, so you must first open it to reach the PBE, then remove it from its protective packaging, and only later remove seals or actuate the device. Trying to pull the actuation ring or tear strips before you’ve opened the case isn’t possible or practical, since the unit isn’t accessible yet.
