No explosive is safe. In the scale of measurement, one type may be safer than the other types. But hazards and explosions move side by side during manufacture, storage, transportation, and uses of explosives for rock blasting. Out of the different factors that incite fire, and explosions are the pumps and the pumping systems used for explosives. The explosives commonly used for rock blasting are emulsion, watergel, slurry, ANFO, and Heavy ANFO. All of these are equally unsafe because all of these pose explosion hazards if these are not handled properly. There have been many incidents where pumping of in-process and finished materials are required in explosives manufacturing operations. Improper and non-diligent pumping give rise to incidents of explosions resulting in losses of life. This is partly because the processes of pumping are thought to be “safe” and therefore (a) more people can be exposed in a single building because the risk of explosion is much smaller than with conv...
