Explosives safety

Explosives safety refers to the practices taken during the use of explosives to prevent injury or death. Explosives include chemicals such as TNT or dynamite as well as other kinds of explosives, such as land mines, C-4s, and IEDs.

Explosions are sudden, rapid releases of energy that produces potentially damaging pressures. Explosions can result from ignition events involving energetic materials, a pressurisation event, or a chemical reaction.
