Explosives are manufactured and stored in Britain by private industry and the Government, the former being mainly interested in mining explosives and pyrotechnics, and the latter normally in military explosives. The coordinating body for determining safety distances is the Explosives Storage and Transport Committee (E.S.T.C.) which prescribes safety distances applicable for both the civil and military interests (E.S.T.C. 1943) and recommends other safety practices for military explosives. This Committee is a fair analogue of the Armed Services Explosives Safety Board.
