The Defense Warehouses a Danger to Employees


The Volkskrant daily has disclosed that Ministry of Defense employees and residents living around the ammunition sites have been in unnecessary danger for years.  This is based on internal documents from the Defense Ministry and the Inspectorate of Social Affairs and Employment.  The Inspectorate found 89 problems at 13 defense ammunition depots.  This included issues such as improperly stored ammunition and warning signs absent in some places.  There is also an increased risk of ammunition exploding in some depots due to lightening.
