What should be the approach towards damaged or unserviceable explosives?

The correct approach towards damaged or unserviceable explosives is to report and manage them according to disposal procedures. This action is crucial for maintaining safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Handling explosives that are damaged or deemed unserviceable poses significant risks, including accidental detonation or harmful exposure to personnel.

By reporting these items, personnel ensure that they are properly assessed by qualified experts who can determine the safe disposal or recovery measures according to established protocols. These procedures are designed to mitigate risks to personnel, equipment, and the environment.

The existence of specific disposal procedures highlights the importance of not taking chances with explosives that may not be reliable, thereby safeguarding everyone involved in their management and use.
