AT EOD Contracts we offer both on site UXO/EOD awareness briefings as well as full training packages for use by the marine agregate industries
Due to the high number of unexploded ordnance items found during offshore and dredging operations HSE Managers have insisted that UXO awareness courses for all staff members involved in their operations.
These briefings are carried out in a class room setup over the course of 1 – 2 days and enable :-
Senior Management — Planning procedures and strategy design.Site Managers — Site specific management plans.Supervisors — Toolbox talks (EOD Contracts will also provide additional material (posters/handouts) in order to aid supervisors).On & Off Shore Personnel — Site Inductions, Safe systems of works and key recognition features of generic ordnance.
On Site Briefings
All of our engineeers can supply on site briefings to advise and warn site opperatives of the threat and risks involved in the discovery of items of unexploded ordnance. Each site specific briefing gives information about the local risks and posibilities of finding an item. The briefing includes details of what to do if a suspicious item is found and the process of what to do.
Most Desktop studies will advise that all site opperatives involved in intrusive works attend a UXO briefing as a minimum requiremnt before works can start.
