SAFEX International: Overview and Legal Disclaimers

SAFEX International operates independently and is not classified as a Trade Association. The organization primarily focuses on critical issues pertaining to safety, health, environmental protection, and security in relation to explosives and their precursor chemicals throughout the entire product life cycle.

To support these objectives, SAFEX International has developed a series of documents and guidelines known as the Basis of Safety (BoS). These materials have been collaboratively created by various member companies on an international scale, with the aim of enhancing safety standards in the operations, transportation, storage, and disposal of explosive products and hazardous chemicals.

It is important to note that the BoS documents are intended solely as training materials and guidelines for users. While SAFEX International strives to provide comprehensive and accurate resources, the organization expressly disclaims any legal liability arising from the application or execution of actions undertaken by individual users based on the content provided. Users are encouraged to exercise their own judgment and seek professional advice as necessary when implementing safety practices and protocols related to explosives and hazardous materials.

By utilizing the BoS documents and guidelines, users acknowledge and accept that SAFEX International cannot be held responsible for any consequences resulting from their actions or decisions.

Salzburg Manifest

As Chairman of SAFEX International, I am proud to share the work product of our CEO Luncheon that we had in Salzburg, Austria one year ago. We created the attached document to demonstrate our commitment to improving safety in our industry through the SAFEX organization. Since that day we have shared, discussed and received support from other CEOs who were unable to attend. The list of signatures of member companies is a true testament to the commitment that we all have towards sharing incidents, learnings, high potential near misses and general safety knowledge. Thank you all who have committed to making SAFEX a more active and effective organization for our industry.
