SAFETY AT THE SHOOTING RANGE DURING FIREARMS TRAINING PROTECTION OF THE LOCAL POPULATION AND RISK MINIMIZATION

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive overview of safety principles applicable during
firearms training. It discusses key organizational, technical, and psychophysical factors
influencing participant safety, including equipment, clothing, mental and physical
condition, experience level, and the instructor’s role. The text emphasizes adherence
to weapon control procedures, communication protocols in emergencies, and
the establishment of safe zones. Special attention is given to medical preparedness,
including first-aid equipment, communication with duty officers, and knowledge
of emergency procedures. The study also highlights the importance of systematic
training evaluation, debriefing, and experience sharing among instructors.
The conclusion indicates that a high level of safety in firearms training can only be
achieved through consistent application of safety rules, proper course organization,
and continuous improvement of both participant and instructor competencies.
