Which documents govern explosive location siting?

Which documents govern explosive location siting?

• A. DESR 6055.09
• B. AFMAN 91-201
• C. Both DESR 6055.09 and AFMAN 91-201
• D. Neither

Answer: (C)

Siting explosive locations is guided by established safety standards that set how far things must be from hazards, people, and other occupancies, and how those sites are analyzed and approved. The baseline DoD Explosive Safety Standards, DESR 6055.09, defines the overall requirements for explosive location siting across DoD activities. The Air Force Manual AFMAN 91-201 then implements and supplements those standards for Air Force operations, providing the specific procedures, processes, and requirements used to plan, analyze, and approve explosive locations within Air Force facilities. Because you need both the broad DoD framework and the Air Force’s particular application of that framework, both documents govern explosive location siting.
