FEEM organisation

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee therefore consists of:

A President
A Vice-Presidents
At least 5 Executive Members

In addition, they are served by a Secretary General 

The Executive Committee decides policy and this is executed by the Secretary General. 

Working Groups

FEEM recognises that “self-regulation” is the most effective method of ensuring proper order within the industry. The proper provision of such internal discipline is effective not only in reducing the practical hazards involved but also in displaying to any legislative authorities the model on which legislation should be based. To this end FEEM has formed a series of Working Groups who draw on the expertise of each of the member companies in the specialist areas of the explosives industry.

The Working Groups concerned are:

Blasting Practice Working Group
Health, Safety and Environment Working Group  : (HS&E)
Security, Transport and Storage Working Group  : (ST&S)

These Working Groups produce Guidance Notes and Technical Bulletins.
