Explosives handling refers to the safe management and transportation of explosive materials, which are substances that can cause a sudden release of energy. Proper training and adherence to safety protocols are essential to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of personnel and the surrounding environment. This includes understanding the properties of different types of explosives, such as dynamite and TNT, and using appropriate protective equipment. Key practices in explosives handling include secure storage in designated facilities, careful labeling, and following regulations set by authorities like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Personnel involved in explosives handling must be trained in emergency response procedures to mitigate risks associated with accidental detonations or spills.
