SECURITY


The loneliness of the deminer. His partner in the two-man team is always 25 metres away, watching him carefully.

Safety rules (1)

Our elaborate safety rules called “Standard Operating Procedures(SOPs)”, are strict, documented and internationally recognized. They guarantee the highest degree of safety for our mine clearance personnel and for the population in the areas we clear.

A few examples of our guidelines:

• There are always two deminers working as a team at MgM. While one is covering the suspicious terrain with his detector and uncovering any signals, his team partner watches from a distance of at least 25 meters and corrects him if he deviates from our SOPs at any stage of the work. Every 30 minutes the team members reverse roles.

• At a pre-determined safety distance there is a fully equipped paramedic team and ambulance standing by for any medical emergency that may arise. Radio communication with active teams is constantly maintained.
