HUMAN RESOURCES IN MINE ACTION
HUMAN RESOURCES IN MINE ACTION

Summary/Abstract: Human resources are a fundamental entity in the implementation of mine action. Those are employees, with all their potentials, in state authorities and accredited organizations that provide services of preparation, execution of works and control of mine action. Human resources in this field consist of three levels of managers: high, top, middle managers and pyrotechnics. The competitiveness of the organization depends on their skills, which are acquired through fundamental and specialized training, while managers acquire them through the educational system. The concept of those organizations implies efficiency, effectiveness as well as costeffectiveness, productivity, rationality, etc. There are differences between managers in mine action which work in the public sector on the issues of preparation and control and managers in accredited commercial companies and non-governmental organizations. The difference is in their vision and interest. Unfortunately, the fact that in the last twenty years 120 pyrotechnics were injured in the works of mine action, 49 resulting in death, indicates the need of education through the regular school system, in addition to training, as far as the education of human resources in mine action is concerned.
