A brief summary of what an ESSP is can be found here:An ESSP is the composite risk management process associated with explosives/toxic chemical activities to ensure the minimum risk to personnel, equipment, and assets, while meeting mission requirements. The damage or injury potential of explosions is determined by the separation distance between potential explosion sites (PES) and exposed sites (ES); the ability of the PES to suppress blast overpressure, primary and secondary fragments; and the ability of the ES to resist explosion effects. Planning for the proper location and construction of PEP facilities and surrounding facilities exposed to PEP facilities is a key element of the explosives/toxic chemical site planning process. This management process also ensures that risks above those normally accepted for PEP activities are identified and approved at the proper level of command.
