How to Excess a Safe

HSOs must become involved in the relocation or turn-in of a security container so they can ensure that appropriate security precautions are taken and can then properly annotate their security container records.  If the safe is no longer needed and will be turned in as excess – In this case, the HSO coordinates with the element’s Accountable Property Representative (APR), and the Office of Management (MA) to ensure that the safe is empty, the combination is reset, and the movement is completed.  The HSO is responsible for removing the safe from his/her Appendix to the HQFMSP.  Detailed instructions for HSOs in turning in a safe are included in the ‘How to Excess a Safe’ document.
