Humanitarian Demining Accident and Incident Database (AID)

The Humanitarian Demining Accident and Incident Database (AID) is based on the Database of Demining Accidents collected and contributed to the Global CWD Repository by Andy Smith, AVS, Mine Action Specialist, UK. This information is designed to allow you to read accident and incident reports and to download a range of documents related to accidents and incidents in non-conflict or post-conflict hazardous explosive survey and/or clearance operations. Names are removed from the reports but they are not censored or selected to fit any bias. No reports are added based on anecdote or hearsay. For this reason, very few records describe accidents involving serving military personnel because those accident reports are rarely made public.

Thanks to those who have written supporting this effort and, especially to those who have made accident or incident reports available. The privacy of individuals who make accident records available is always respected. To submit an accident or incident report to AID, please email: cisr-reporting@jmu.edu

This database is organized and is searchable by YEAR, COUNTRY, and ACTIVITY (excavation, missed mine, handling, demolition, vegetation removal, mechanical excavation, survey, trip wire, victim initiation, other).
