Bomb Disposal Life Insurance

A bomb disposal technician’s role would vary depending on the area of the armed forces they worked in. They would also work with the police to ensure that areas surrounding the unexploded device are safely evacuated. General requirements of a bomb disposal technician’s role include:

• To spot any unexploded devices or explosives using drones, remote controlled robotics or metal detector equipment
• Defuse bombs
• Destroy bombs and other explosive devices in a bomb chamber
• Use other explosives to destroy explosive items
• Determining the safety of the public and other work colleagues

The above is only part of a bomb disposal technician’s role. Some technicians work within ammunitions facilities, in which explosives, missiles and other weapons are maintained before being loaded on to armed forces’ aircraft. Roles will always vary depending on the section of the armed forces the individual is working within. Other names for the job include ‘ammunition technical officer’ or ‘ammunition/weapons technician’. Some bomb disposal technicians also work underwater to diffuse unexploded bombs in the sea. In this role, an ability to dive and swim to deeper depths is required. Many bomb disposal technicians within these roles are already highly trained divers.
