This documents outlines the hazards, acceptable exposure limits, and protective measures to safeguard
employees when exposed to DNT and its products. It also includes existing studies on the health impacts of DNT
exposure.

Blasting activities generate ground vibrations, that are dispersed as seismic waves. This document is focused on
the understanding of the generation, propagation and mitigation of such waves by the users of explosives.

employees when exposed to TNT and its products. It also includes existing studies on the health impacts of TNT
exposure.

Definition of protective measures when using chemical substances in the explosives industry that may pose
physical, biological, biochemical, and ergonomic hazards.

This Guide provides recommended practices for training staff, drafting and revising operating instructions, and
advising new operations without prior experience, offers broad guidelines for creating tailored instructions,
serving as a checklist to evaluate both new and existing manufacturing control systems.

While proposing international adoption of best practices for distribution of explosives, explosives precursors and
accessories, the proposed Note is estimated to address only a small percentage of materials used in such
activities.

This document outlines widely accepted guidelines for the storage of explosives and accessories. While it
primarily focuses on permanent magazines holding more than one tone of explosives, its principles based on
current best practices, can be applied to all storage operations.

Spent Acids in NG production, as NG can separate and accumulate dangerously over time can provoke serious
accidents. This Note provides guidance on handling Spent Acids and effluents based on industry expertise.

The shelf life of explosives, accessories, and devices is heavily influenced by their composition and construction.
When these products are stored under optimal and controlled conditions, the product groups outlined in this Code
will function reliably.

This Note provides advice on safe disposal methods, necessary precautions, and practices to avoid. It is intended
for trained engineers and technologists dealing with large quantities of surplus explosives, complementing
guidance for smaller amounts.

Under controlled good storage conditions, the product groups listed in this Code will perform satisfactorily
provided they are stored and used in accordance with the Federation Codes issued covering use, storage and
transport.

The recommendations contained in this Note give to the members of FEEM broad guidelines on which they can
devise an appropriate strategy for "CRISIS MANAGEMENT" and have been drawn up after in depth consultation
with experts within the industry and those skilled in the management of crisis and therefore, represent the best
possible advice in current terms.

This Note outlines the basic requirements for the shotfirers courses to cover the general and specialist fields of
use.

The guidelines focus on safety measures for plant layout and building design, aiming to minimize the impact of
accidental explosions and safeguard workers. These recommendations, address precautions to optimize safety
and consider factors like factory layout, distances, and quantities of explosives in process.

With the newer technology of waterbased explosives this hazard pattern has been dramatically changed in that
the main hazard component, the explosive sensitiser, has been removed. With each explosive there is, however,
a point reached where a combination of such factors stress the safety tolerance of the explosive beyond its limits
which results in an unintentional initiation and accident. This "critical stress level" varies from explosive to
explosive but the factors involved are common to all.

This Note governs the basic safety principles to be observed in the manufacture, storage and handling of initiating
(primary) explosives and mixtures of such materials; it covers both process operating standards and engineering
standards applicable to process equipment and buildings used in initiating explosives manufacture.

FEEM has developed controlled blasting guidelines to enhance the safe use of explosives and optimize their
performance in underground operations. Adequate ventilation, is essential to manage exhaust gases effectively
and maintain safety standards.

The procedures outlined in this guidance note cover the destruction of small quantities only, up to 25 kg of
explosive in total or 50 detonators.

The destruction of explosives, whether by burning or detonating, typically requires approval from authorities.
Certain devices containing explosives in metal containers or parts, like shaped charges or explosive bolts, pose
specific risks related to shrapnel. Consequently, the destruction of such products should only proceed after
consulting the manufacturer to ensure safety.

In this Guide, the word "shotfirer" is used to designate any person who is responsible for designing as well as the
person who actually handles loads and fires explosives material. It should be noted that this definition of
"shotfirer" is rather wider than is normally the case, but the intention is to ensure that persons who have the
responsibility for supervising and designing blasts as well as persons who handle explosives are properly trained.

This Guide emphasizes responsible blasting practices, focusing on reducing or preventing ammonium nitrate from
dissolving in water to mitigate contamination risks. While it does not cover all aspects of effective blasting, it
highlights key considerations related to water pollution.

This Guide focuses primarily on chemical hazards from substances and preparations in the explosives industry, .
where employers must specify protective measures, with both employers and employees sharing responsibility for
implementation.

The classification of the non-sensitized emulsion matrix varies across Europe. If deemed non-explosive, it can be
transported in vehicles outside Class 1, though still subject to national regulations for hazardous chemicals.
However, if classified as Class I, it must comply with the relevant transport regulations.

transported in vehicles outside Class 1, though still subject to national regulations for hazardous chemicals.
However, if classified as Class I, it must comply with the relevant transport regulations.

The use of AN / FO mixtures has popularized on-site mixing, offering cost efficiency across various applications.
However, relocating explosive production from tightly regulated factory settings to less controlled environments
has introduced new challenges, so the purpose of this Guide is to endure that the practices with AN/FO mixtures
are of the highest standards.

This Guidance Note not only indicates the basic requirements of a shotfirer but also indicates the contents of
training courses and specifies detailed information and the degree of on-site training and experience which a
shotfirer should possess before his appointment.

Description of the terms used on FEEM´s technical documents

This Guidance Note deals with the management of emulsion pump trucks, and concerns itself with the safe
operation of equipment, calibration and production as well as with the management of risk.

This document contains guidelines for controlled blasting which should substantially contribute to ensure safe
working conditions in underground operations.

This GN provides sound advice as to the methods of safe disposal of explosives, the precautions to be taken and,
in particular, the procedures to be followed. It is written for the guidance of trained explosives engineers and
technologists who may have the occasion to dispose of small or substantial quantities of superfluous explosives
either in the field or at a manufacturing site.

The classification of the non-sensitized emulsion matrix varies across Europe. If deemed non-explosive, it can be
transported in vehicles outside Class 1, though still subject to national regulations for hazardous chemicals.

This Guidance document has been prepared to outline the method adopted by FEEM Members to achieve a
harmonized system for the purpose of implementing the EC Directives 2008/43/EC and 2012/4/EU to establish “A
SYSTEM FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY OF EXPLOSIVES FOR CIVIL USES”, and the
associated national legislation.
