Minutes of the Explosives Safety Seminar (20th) Held at OMNI international Hotel, Norfolk, Virginia on 24-26 August 1982. Volume I

Abstract

The objective of our explosives safety program is to provide maximum protection against injury to personnel and damage to property consistent with operational requirements. Toward this end our goals are: To eliminate unnecessary risks to life and property from the harmful effects of accidents; To make safety an essential consideration in all facilities and operations planning; To insure that safety is a total life-cycle consideration for ammunition and explosives; and To eliminate deviations from ammunition and explosives safety standards that are not essential or are not justified on the basis that the increased risks are insignificant in comparison with the cost of achieving compliance.
