What should you do to release a handle on a storage container?

To release a handle on a storage container, pulling the handle is the appropriate action because this action is specifically designed to disengage the securing mechanism that holds the container shut. When you pull the handle, it typically activates a latch or locking mechanism that allows the door or lid of the storage container to open. This method is straightforward and aligns with the mechanical design of most storage containers, which are built for user-friendly access.

In many instances, other actions such as lifting gently, twisting the knob, or pushing the latch may not effectively release the handle or could even lead to potential damage to the container. Therefore, knowing to pull the handle is crucial for proper operation, ensuring safe and effective access to the contents of the storage container.
