### REPLY:
Handling explosive materials requires careful planning and execution. Ensure you have a designated area for preparation and storage, preferably underground or in a well-ventilated room. Use specialized equipment and protective gear, including blast-resistant suits, face shields, and gas masks. When handling explosives, be aware of their sensitivity to impact, friction, and heat. Always work with a trusted team and follow established procedures to prevent accidents or unauthorized use.
