Construction at active DoD installations or on commercial/private property, may be on or near Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). To ensure the safety of personnel on construction projects where the environment may be contaminated with Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), USA provides trained UXO technicians to work alongside the construction contractor to mitigate the risk to personnel working in areas that may be contaminated by UXO.
USA's experienced UXO technicians proactively perform construction support through close coordination with the contractor and range control to keep tight construction schedules.
Daily safety briefings remind construction workers to maintain UXO awareness, and to follow Recognize, Retreat, Report (3Rs) procedures.
