Introduction
The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining was requested to prepare a short background paper to summarise Render Safe Procedure1 issues in the context of information requirements during humanitarian clearance operations.
The development and execution of effective RSPs are the major elements that contribute to the safety of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal 2 (EOD) operator, and the information they receive has a major influence on the development of these RSPs.
Previous papers have explained the detailed information requirements, therefore this paper will explain the requirement for critical information in order to maintain or improve the safety of the EOD operator. It will not explain RSPs in any technical detail due to their confidentiality and sensitivity.
