Explosives safety refers to the practices taken during the use of explosives to prevent injury or death. Explosives include chemicals such as TNT or dynamite.

When care is not taken regarding the use of explosives, it can result in injuries or death. Chemicals released from combusting material can cause severe burns. Debris thrown from explosions can cut or fracture, or otherwise damage structure around the area.
