Preparation is key to ensuring safety in landmine affected areas
Sending
employees or contractors to landmine affected areas requires knowledge
beyond normal safe traveling practices. It is important that they have
an understanding of the threat that landmines/UXO (unexploded ordnance)
can pose. Initially created as an extension to our corporate traveling
programs we also offer training aids and training programs for
humanitarian and military demining customers (subject to US State Dept
Licensing).
We offer a standard classes in Landmine/UXO Awareness for employees and contractors required to travel to landmine affected areas.
However we also offer customized courses designed to meet specific needs for subject matter, time, geographic location, facilities and cost.
Subject matters may include:
Purpose and Statistics
