Assessing Explosives Safety Risks, Deviations, and Consequences

Abstract

1.1.1. To better serve the warfighter, the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) is continually transforming, seeking continuous improvement, and operationalizing the DoD's ESMP. This includes the development of new ESMP-related tools and approaches to assist warfighters in executing their mission, conserving resources, and maximizing operational effectiveness. When mission risk is reviewed and managed correctly, Department of Defense (DoD) Components can safely and aggressively execute their missions. 1.1.2. This TP: 1.1.2.1. Describes the DDESB Explosives Safety Risk Management (ESRM) Program outlined in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6055.16 (Reference (a)). 1.1.2.2. Presents a course of action and a tool to standardize the deviation process and information provided for explosives risk decisions. 1.1.2.3. Provides decision-makers associated with DoD munitions assets worldwide with a more understandable and consolidated information package for their review, with the overall goal to reduce and manage residual risk.
