Safety
Exposure to varying situations on a daily basis
means a wide range of experience is gained within each
team. Informed decisions made on the ground ensure the
safest course of action is always followed. All members
of the team are responsible for safety and personnel
are rotated on a regular basis to ensure optimum
performance.
  
A key factor in the safety of manual deminers is
the use of extremely effective personnel protection
equipment (PPE). All team members are required to
wear the PPE gear, even in extreme temperatures of
40°C plus. The PPE consist of a lightweight
apron and visor, which MineTech was instrumental in
developing. Rubber knee and leather elbow pads are
also used in certain terrain.
All members of the team are responsible for the
upkeep of their PPE and demining tools.
