UNIQUE MUNITIONS FOR
CATMS/SFS
• Short cutting and explosive operation may save a little
time, but time is of no value to the person who loses
his/her life.
• Actually, the reason for explosives
mishaps frequently may be traced
to hurrying, inattention, lack of
knowledge or deliberate actions
intended to save efforts on the
part of the personnel.
IGNORANCE, OVERCONFIDENCE, CARELESSNESS,
HASTE AND POOR JUDGEMENT ARE THE PRIME
CAUSES OF EXPLOSIVES MISHAPS
