More than 9% of recorded accidents occur while handling a device.
Handling accidents are not "demolition" or "excavation accidents". They occur when a victim is deliberately handling a device, sometimes to move or disarm it and sometimes without realising that it poses a threat.
Accidents do not always happen during a single activity. For example, a missed-mine may be located while cutting vegetation, or a Handing accident may occur during a survey. All accidents with common features can be located by making a complex search using the database software. Unfortunately, it is only possible at this time to put the accident records on line - not the database software itself.
The list below are *.PDF files of the Excvation accident records held in the DDAS. Click on the record to open it in Adobe Reader. The later records tend to be the better detailed. Records marked with an * are larger, so more detailed or containing more pictures. Double or triple * indicates unusually large records.
