Conductive Tiles in Explosives Dust Areas
DA Pam 385-64, Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards (24 July 2023), does not recommend conductive tiles where explosives dust can cause contamination. Tile joints and loose tiles can trap explosives dust, and the pamphlet identifies difficulty cleaning the tiles using normal cleanup procedures.
