ISEE is using the final week of National Safety Month to recognize Firework Safety month, to reinforce safe practices and encourage our members to lead by example in their communities. These safety guidelines, shared from the American Pyrotechnics Safety and Education Foundation (APSEF), are critical for keeping people safe during the holiday.
For Week 3 of Safety Month ISEE highlights the importance of fully clearing and securing the Blast Area and site before detonation. The article emphasizes early coordination through a Blast Area Security Plan, real-time communication during loading, and a final go/no-go safety check. Clear protocols and informed decisions are key to protecting both the public and crew.
As part of National Safety Month this June, week 2 the ISEE is highlighting important safety practices for explosives industry professionals. Industry veteran Richard O'Meara shares three critical elements that can help make sure your next blast is free from flyrock, a dangerous and potentially deadly hazard.
