ContactWhy Early Risk Assessment Matters
Assessing explosive risk at the earliest stage of a project is critical to protecting personnel, reducing environmental impact, and avoiding disruption to programmes and budgets. Early understanding of explosive hazards allows proportionate risk management measures to be planned before work begins.
How a Desktop Study Supports Risk Management
Early identification of explosive hazards such as land mines, unexploded ordnance (UXO) or improvised explosive devices (IED) supports cost-efficient risk management. When risks are identified before mobilisation, mitigation measures can be planned in advance, reducing delays and the need for remedial action later.
SafeLane, with its dedicated research team, delivers explosive risk assessment through a comprehensive desktop study for any project location worldwide, covering both land and marine environments.
Each desktop study evaluates the probability of encountering explosive ordnance during the proposed works. The assessment considers site history, surrounding land use, and the nature of the planned activities.
SafeLane's research team carries out a thorough review of historical data and any relevant documentation to identify potential risks and explosive hazards. Factors assessed include hazard type, proximity to the works, and likelihood of encounter.
The findings inform clear, proportionate recommendations. Where appropriate, SafeLane’s specialists advise on next steps such as survey or clearance activities to reduce or remove the explosive risk.
