Explosives & Explosive Ordnance
iDRISK provides specialist explosives and explosive ordnance advisory across both the commercial and defence sectors — a discipline requiring the highest levels of engineering rigour and regulatory precision.
Our explosives advisory encompasses commercial explosives manufacturing, storage and transport compliance, as well as defence-sector explosive ordnance (EO) and guided weapons and explosive ordnance (GWEO) environments. iDRISK engineers have direct experience with Comcare-regulated explosive facilities, Defence DEOP101 requirements, and international standards including NATO AASTP-1. We bring both the technical depth and the regulatory literacy required to operate in these high-consequence environments.
High-consequence incidents with limited tolerance for non-compliance
Complex quantity distance (QD) calculations requiring specialist engineering input
Licensing and notification requirements across multiple regulatory bodies
Defence-specific requirements misapplied in commercial contexts and vice versa
Security sensitive ammonium nitrate (SSAN) regulatory requirements frequently misunderstood
Explosives in Australia are regulated under state and territory explosives legislation and, for Commonwealth-controlled sites, under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) administered by Comcare. Defence EO operations are governed by Defence explosive ordnance policy (DEOP101) and applicable NATO standards (AASTP-1).
"Few engineering firms can credibly operate across both commercial explosives compliance and defence EO environments. iDRISK engineers bring direct experience in both — with the technical capability to support the most complex and high-consequence explosive ordnance scenarios."
