About measures for natural disaster of explosives related business sites (warning)

For business establishments handling explosives

Overview of this matter

 In recent years, storms and floods have occurred in various parts of the country due to typhoons and heavy rains, causing damage to explosives-related facilities.
 Once a disaster occurs, not only economic loss may occur due to flooding of explosives, but also secondary disaster may occur due to spilled explosives.
 We hope that all business establishments handling explosives will promote further security management against storms and floods.

Specific examples of measures

Preliminary measures

・If the gunpowder storage is damaged due to the collapse of the embankment or the collision of objects flying in mud slide or storms, explosives may flow out to the outside. Please check the condition of the equipment and the surrounding situation, and maintain the facility.
・Explosives stored in gunpowders and out-of-box storage lose their commercial value if they are damaged by flooding or other damage. Take measures to smoothly discharge a large amount of rain outside the premises (inspection and cleaning of drains, etc.).
・Please confirm the location of the office in hazard map, etc., and take measures to prevent flooding.
・Due to flooding, there is a concern that important documents will be lost and data on equipment will be lost. I would like to ask you to manage the documents and data.
・In the event of a power outage due to a disaster, mechanical security is not activated and the risk of theft is increased even if the building is not damaged. In addition to ensuring locking, re-examine the key, doors and windows and other facilities to take measures against anti-crime program.
evacuation route and evacuation sites, please.

Subsequent measures

・Please check the locking of the gunpowder storage, etc., and make sure that the equipment is not damaged.
・Explosives that have lost their original performance or original form due to moisture absorption or deterioration should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
・In the unlikely event that an event such as a spill or collapse of a gunpowder or embankment occurs, please ensure your safety immediately, take emergency measures, and contact the fire department immediately.
In addition, we ask that you take appropriate measures according to the actual situation of the business establishment.
