In search of safety....

Severe finger, hand and arm injury is the most common disabling injury in demining according to the Database of Demining Accidents (DDAS). To try to reduce risk and avoid injury as much as possible, the International Mine Action Standard covering protective equipment (IMAS 10.30) recommends that you use blast-resistant tools when uncovering items that may be dangerous. It is a combination of the length, strength and designed use of these tools that provides some protection.

Using blast resistant tools safely

All tools can be used correctly or incorrectly. In demining, it can sometimes be disastrous when a tool is used incorrectly. By request, we are now offering advice on how to use each of our main Blast-resistant hand-tools. We are also including detailed instructions about how to use them to excavate a mine as safely as possible. This advice has been compiled by the keeper of the Database of Demining Accidents, who has also given design advice for the tools.
