OUR OPERATIONS IN UKRAINE
More than 600 FSD staff members are now active in the provinces of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Kherson to clear the land and raise awareness about the dangers of explosive devices. In the final quarter of 2024, FSD’s goal is to maximise land clearance before winter conditions disrupt demining operations.
PREVENTING RISKY BEHAVIOURS
Entering a contaminated area, improvising as a deminer or playing with dangerous objects – a number of behaviours can lead to accidents involving explosive items. Our risk education teams raise awareness about these dangers to prevent accidental explosions.
