Rescue Service: "Explosives should be stored in locked storage"

- Explosives must be stored in locked storage so that unauthorized persons can not access it, says Fredrik Östlund, fire inspector at the Swedish High Rescue Service Ådalen.

The risk of theft of explosives in the construction industry warned the police in January this year. Both police and politicians demand better background checks on staff.

- Swedish construction sites are one of the places where explosives are used. It is important that there is improved supervision, said Linda Staaf, head of the intelligence unit at the police's National Operations Department, to SVT then.

The picture of boxes with explosives, which is located on the ground at the construction of the Hästkullen wind farm in Viksjö, was taken in September last year. The emergency services have not yet made any supervision in the area, but they have the right to act.

- If we do not consider that they comply with the regulations, we can give an injunction or injunction, if we consider that there is a great risk with the activities conducted, says Fredrik Östlund.
