NATO Explosive Safety Design Manual
The NATO Explosive Safety Design Manual provides guidelines for safely designing and constructing military facilities and storage areas to prevent accidents involving explosives. It ensures that explosive materials are stored, handled, and used in ways that minimize the risk of accidental detonation, fire, or explosion. The manual considers factors like distance, barriers, and layout to protect personnel, equipment, and the environment. Its goal is to promote safety, reduce hazards, and ensure operational security when working with explosives in military settings, following standardized international principles for risk management and effective safety practices.
