This course uses lecture, discussion, and workshops to provide an in-depth knowledge of explosives site plans (ESPs). Students will be immersed in explosives safety quantity distance (ESQD) tables, criteria, and calculations used in DoD Manual 4145.26 to perform in-depth evaluations of ESP scenarios based on real world examples and prepare required site plan documentation. The course will review mitigation strategies used to reduce risk and address regulatory compliance issues. Students will also learn how to apply maximum credible event (MCE) analysis results and integrate various analyses into ESP documentation to promote understanding for a smooth approval process.
