EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL

Explosive substances and articles continue to have a wide range of uses in both civil applications and military fields. Their uses can range from the obvious such as warheads for weapons, blasting explosives and accessories, fireworks and flares; through to the more obscure such as in components of fire fighting systems and vehicle safety restraint systems.  Given that explosives will continue to be used in a wide range of applications into the future there will be a continuing requirement for the disposal and destruction of explosives substances and articles.
