Explosive Safety
Overview
The goal of an explosives safety program is to provide safety guidance, resources, and assistance for leaders to meet the needs of their mission or operation without unnecessary loss of personnel and equipment. Included in these goals is support to senior leaders in the safe transport, storage, and use of ammunition and explosives. Information available through this page will provide leaders, ammunition and explosives personnel, and safety managers with explosives safety resources to develop and manage your explosives safety program. The explosive safety resources provided come from DoD sources, other public sector sources, and the private sector. As always, the Tactical Safety Network welcomes your comments and feedback. Please contact the Tactical Safety Network via e-mail with your questions and comments regarding explosive safety.
