STEP 4 – SAFE POSITIVE ACTION
Once the barrel disruptor has been placed, the MA IEDD operator returns to the CP and informs the cordon positions and other agencies that a ‘controlled explosion’ is about to take place and not to react to it.
ׁ WARNING. When the disruptor is fired there is the possibility that the IED may function. Suitable cordon and evacuation must be in place and any MA staff remaining inside the explosive danger area must be suitably protected.
