Abstract: The term "security" can be heard every day, regardless of whether it is about individual, public, state, national and international security. Society as a whole wants a sense of security for personal advancement. One of the ways of creating security is accompanied by armed conflicts. The consequences of armed conflicts, in addition to losses, are accompanied by explosive remnants of war and residual contamination. The aforementioned consequences represent a danger that constantly affects the safety of society as a whole and prevents the progress of society. The steps that must be taken are accompanied by obligations in various fields of the public sector, private companies, non-governmental organizations, education, ecology and the development of social awareness of responsibility. The foundation is based on planning, organizing and implementing humanitarian demining. Demining that follows modern achievements in the world, regardless of whether it is technical progress or in the field of social responsibility in terms of passing legal regulations. Long-term practice in the world has indicated the necessity of taking steps towards complete humanitarian demining. Complete demining is necessary due to observed failures to implement demining at depths of up to 0.6 m, which enables the first step towards the use of agricultural land. Due to the approach that soil release is carried out in a "shallow" layer, the phenomenon of residual contamination is present. As such, it prevents the application of the terms social security and social progress. The aforementioned practice, based on the example of the Republic of Serbia, indicated the necessity of solving the issue of residual contamination that reaches a depth of 12 meters. Only with this approach to solving the issue of residual contamination are conditions created for the application of the term safety of society in the conditions of the existence of the danger of explosive remnants of war and residual contamination
