These presentations are simple, so should run on old computers. They are copyright free for use as training aids but may not be reproduced in any material produced for sale.

In some of these the words are not on the slides but in the 'notes' underneath. This can be awkward because on many slides there are pictures on top of each other and you will not see all of the pictures unless you run the slide show. To read the words while running the slide slow, download the script and read it as you <click> through the slides.

Accident case studies:

Accident case study 1 - Click here to start downloading. Script. This accident provides a compelling example of the need to use appropriate marking in the working area, and of the need for responsible supervision and management.

Accident case study 2 - Click here to start downloading. Script. This accident provides a good example of the need for EOD trained specialists to avoid taking unnecessary risks.

Accident case study 3 - Click here to start downloading. No script because all the words are on the slides. This accident provides a good example of the need for demining organisations to provide ambulance vehicles, have SOPs, and work with the national Mine Action Centre.

Accident case study 4 - Click here to start downloading. No script because all the words are on the slides. This accident provides an example of the need for persons with military EOD experience to be trained for Humanitarian Mine Action before being put in charge in the field. It also provides evidence of the need to check that the detector in use can reliably find the targets that are being looked for.
