AMMUNITION SAFETY MANAGEMENT!TOOL KIT!
!An Introduction!
John Rawson Advisor
Ammunition Safety Management GICHD
SITUATION!1. Large volume of unmanaged
ammunition stocks!
2. Two or three significant stockpile accidents per month!
3. Due to multiple factors, all of which are preventable by good ammunition safety management !
4. Current standards in IATG too advanced for developing regions to implement in one go!
5. Many opportunities to improve!
DIRECTION!AIM: !Protecting vulnerable communities from explosive hazards using low cost, low technology methods!!OBJECTIVES:!1. Develop a risk based process!
2. Break down into stages!
3. Collaborate / integrate with existing initiatives!
4. Make openly available !
STAGES!STAGE 1. MAKE SAFE Find, salvage and make safe, or destroy AXO, develop & move to temporary field storage

AXO/UXO STAGE 1 – A1 FIND AND ASSESS"
ID" Action" Task:" Guidance:"
A1.1! Locate ammunition !
Ammunition Not Found: !
• Use sketch map (if available)!• Contact the original reporter!• Search 50m around GPS point!• Fill report in as nothing found !• Form still has to be completed and submitted to remove the report from the ‘to do’ list !
Ammunition Found!• Visually search surrounding area for hazards/vital installations. !• Look for things that indicate the ammunition may not be what it seems, ie wires, disturbed earth.!• Look for hazards, eg fuel tanks, electricity cables etc.!• Check for wells, water mains and similar items vital to the community !
A1.2!
Inspect and assess the
condition of the ammunition!
!
Are safety devices present? ! • Primer clip on base of cartridge cases, safety pins in grenades, fuze cover on etc !
Has the ammunition been fired (or thrown, armed etc as applicable). !
• Projectiles; check driving band for rifling marks, grooves, striations etc.!• Look at the body; is the paintwork scratched or are there any impact marks (fuze or body)!• Are ‘Remove Before Firing’ components present; Fuze covers, augmenting cart covers!• For rockets, mortars, rifle grenades and similar items; signs of burning around the base, tail section, venturi!• Smoke ammunition; burning signs around emission holes!• Is the fuze crushed/broken/missing?!• Is any of the explosive filling exposed?!
Are there any signs of corrosion / discoloration / exudation?!
• Check the whole item paying particular attention to joints, eg where the fuze attaches to the body; any leaking or discoloration could indicate that the explosives are breaking down chemically !
• Powder or crystals could also be present, again indicating chemical breakdown!
Are all components present/intact? !
Check that fly off levers are not missing, augmenting carts are there, tail fins are present and complete etc !
If in container!
• Visually check the container , Look for signs of tampering/ interference. If unsafe at any stage follow the ACTIONS IF UNSAFE AMMUNITION IS DISCOVERED AT ANY "
• Open container & visually check the contents . If safe, empty the contents by hand looking for the same signs as the visual inspection for ammunition above. !
• If contents are the same as the markings on the box; repack and mark box with quantity.!• If contents are different; sort out into types of ammunition, rebox with others of the same type. Mark the box
with contents list. !
ACTIONS IF UNSAFE AMMUNITION IS DISCOVERED AT ANY STAGE. "If any ammunition is found to be unsafe during any stage stop work, move personnel to safety and carry out a risk assessment to decide how to deal with it or, if specific instructions for that item are available, follow the instruction. If danger is immediate retire to a safe distance to consider. Refer up to next level in chain of command if unsure what to do or unqualified to take actions. Notify HQ. !

ASM Example Organisation!
Each function identified has a specific and integrated set of responsibilities linked to process & competence. The functional organisation is designed to expand and contract as required maximizing the use of local labour. The majority of the permanent functions can be regionally based and move to site as required; this provides a flexible management structure that is cost effective and scalable to needs.

Learner Group: Candidate Ammunition Trained Persons
Duration: 2 Days
Aim of Module: To incrementally develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours in order to safely and effectively manage the location of
abandoned and/or unexploded ammunition
Outcomes of the unit of learning: (there is one outcome for each lesson in the unit).
1. Describe the major categories of ammunition, there characteristics and lethal radius
2. Demonstrate the methods of searching for ammunition as an individual and as a group
3. Describe effective approach and recording of ammunition finds
4. Demonstrate effective marking of the find and communications with locals regarding inherent risks

ASM PREDICTED EFFECT
Costs!The cost of saving lives by reducing ammunition accidents and stopping proliferation of ammunition is as low as one international supervisor/teacher plus a body of men and vehicles from the host country.!!The cost of clearing up after an unplanned explosion in a munitions site can be huge. The Gardec explosion in Albania destroyed 9,000 tonnes of ammunition. It cost 10 million dollars to clear the area afterwards, plus 18 million dollars in repairs to buildings, repairs to other infrastructure, compensation etc.!!Costs for a planned disposal of ammunition is now down to one Euro per submunition – with recycling it can be cost neutral. !
REMEMBER!1. All procedures using this method complement the IATG!
2. The aim of this method is to assist a country in achieving the lowest IATG level of ammunition management!
3. Once at that level IATG takes over!
4. This is a low cost method – to achieve IATG standards funding has to be raised!
5. It is designed to keep costs down, and as such depends on the provision of labour and resources from the country!
