### REPLY:
When handling explosives, it's important to wear protective clothing, such as flame-resistant suits, gloves, and safety glasses. Use proper tools and equipment, such as non-sparking tools, to minimize the risk of accidental ignition. Always handle explosives with extreme care, avoiding any sudden movements or impacts that could trigger an explosion. Keep a safe distance from the explosives and ensure proper ventilation in the area to prevent the accumulation of explosive gases.
