PPE Development and Needs in HMA

Abstract

As written in the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) 10.30 on personal protective equipment (PPE), the primary means of preventing explosive injury in the workplace is by the supervised use of demining tools and processes that reduce the likelihood of an unintended detonation. The IMAS goes on to state that PPE should be the final protective measure after all planning, training and procedural efforts to reduce risk have been taken. To date the final protective measure has been to provide PPE that is practical but that does not provide full protection.
