2891 Ramora UK, a leading explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) company, has launched the National Explosive Safety Scheme (NESS).

It has already helped to develop and implement official explosive-related procedures which are accepted as best practice throughout the industry, and now Ramora UK is offering its expertise 24-hours-a-day through NESS.

The company offers a wide range of land and maritime EOD and improvised explosive device (IED) services including the design and delivery of professional training, practical services, equipment procurement, equipment solutions, integration services and consultancy solutions.

Its services for planning, training and the practical removal of unexploded ordnance are used by governments, corporations, the military and law enforcement agencies globally for planning, training and the practical removal of Unexploded Ordnance.

The company says the  new NESS scheme will equip companies with the knowledge and capability to be prepared for any incident involving explosives, through advice, training and the delivery of practical EOD/bomb disposal services by Ramora UK’s specialist EOD teams.

There are three levels of NESS Membership, Bronze, Silver and Gold, each designed to accommodate the specific EOD requirements of individual clients.

But all levels offer a discount on EOD services including a training package, access to a 24/7 emergency response helpline and time expired pyrotechnic (TEP) storage as well as a range of free-of-charge services.

Ramora UK says an additional option to the membership is the NESS TEP Storage Rental Solution that provides everything required to store TEPs safely and legally, including licensing, training and access to an easy-to-use online Miscellaneous Pyrotechnic Accounting System (MPAS).

“We believe that NESS represents a significant initiative for our industry,” says David Welch, managing director of Ramora UK.

“The threats posed by unexploded ordnance affects businesses across a wide range of industries, but accessing the services they need to prevent and/or deal with the problems is not always as easy as it should be. NESS is really going to help them do that.”

In the a aggregates and construction industries, Ramora UK says it can deal with any EOD incident and ensure that aggregates and construction companies meet their “full legal responsibilities while minimising any financial losses.”
