Published by SALUSHandling unexploded ordnance (UXO) is extremely dangerous and should only be done by trained professionals. If you encounter any ordnance, do not attempt to pick it up or move it. Instead, follow these safety guidelines:
- Do Not Touch: Never touch, move, or disturb the ordnance in any way.
- Mark the Location: If it is safe to do so, mark the location of the ordnance from a safe distance. Use visible markers that do not require you to approach the ordnance closely.
- Evacuate the Area: Ensure that everyone in the vicinity is moved to a safe distance away from the ordnance.
- Notify Authorities: Contact local law enforcement or military authorities immediately. Provide them with the exact location and description of the ordnance.
- Follow Instructions: Follow any instructions given by the authorities and do not return to the area until it has been declared safe.
These steps are crucial to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Handling UXO without proper training and equipment can lead to serious injury or death. Always defer to professionals in these situations.
