Safety explosives, often referred to as "blasting agents," are explosives designed to minimize the risk of accidental detonation while still being effective for controlled demolition or mining operations. They typically require a high-energy booster to initiate detonation, making them safer to handle and transport compared to more sensitive explosives. These materials are used in various applications where safety is a primary concern, such as in construction and quarrying. Examples include ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) and water-resistant emulsions.

Movie productions typically use special effects explosives, which are specifically designed for safety and controlled detonation. Common types include squibs, which create small bursts and simulate gunfire, and pyrotechnic charges for larger effects like explosions or fire. These explosives are often regulated and handled by licensed professionals to ensure safety on set. Additionally, filmmakers may use digital effects to enhance or replace practical explosives for added control and safety.

The withdrawal distance for all HCD 1.2 explosives in a fire is typically 1.5 kilometers. This distance is crucial for ensuring the safety of personnel and property in case of a fire involving these explosives.
Alfred Nobel was interested in chemistry because of his family's background in explosives manufacturing. He pursued chemistry to further his understanding of explosives and to improve their safety and efficiency. Nobel's inventions, such as dynamite, propelled him into the field of chemistry.
