What should you do when approaching EMR-vulnerable ordnance with a hand-held radio?

Enclose the ordnance completely in a sealed, all-metal container

Turn off the radio when within 10 feet of ordnance

When approaching EMR-vulnerable ordnance, it is crucial to turn off the hand-held radio when within a certain distance, specifically 10 feet, to prevent any potential electromagnetic interference (EMI). This precaution is vital because some ordnance may be sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, which can induce unintended detonations. By shutting down the radio, you eliminate the risk of transmitting signals that could interact with the ordnance and trigger it.

The approach emphasizes the importance of safety protocols in handling explosive materials, where understanding the risks associated with electromagnetic susceptibility is essential for personnel who work around such ordnance. Proper training and adherence to safety measures ensure a safer working environment and minimize the chances of accidents.

Maintain a safe distance without any precautions

Use a walkie-talkie instead of a radio
