Objective To study the electrostatic protection in the packaging process of explosive. Methods In order to control the electrostatic hazard, the electrostatic protection in the packaging process of explosive was investigated based on the latest anti-static technology at home and aboard. Results Anti-static methods were introduced in order to improve the safety of explosive packaging process and reduce the incidence of explosion accidents, including the control of equipment and crafts, the increase of humidity, static grounding, and the application of anti-static agent, static eliminator, the protection of static of human body, and reasonable design of workshops. Precautions of static on powder and explosive were elaborated according to the potential dangers of powder and explosive. Conclusion The electrostatic protection in the packaging process of explosive could effectively reduce the incidence of combustion accidents. Specialization, integration and intellectualization are the future orientations of anti-static technology.
