It should be borne in mind that all munitions surveys and detection technologies employed, as well as the processes implemented to remove and dispose of UXO from the surveyed area if the ground has not been dug up, do not provide a 100% guarantee that the area will be completely cleared of explosive remnants of war or that no munitions will be encountered in the future. However, ALARP certification does indicate that the site has munitions management and clearance policies in place, with measures in place to minimise as far as possible the potential risk of detonation of explosive ordnance, and procedures in place to deal with munitions encountered during offshore activities.
The ALARP certificate, issued by UXO Marine, also confirms that the specific site has been surveyed using highly specialised equipment by appropriately trained personnel.
