A blast shelter is a place where people can go to protect themselves from blasts and explosions, like those caused by bombs or hazardous worksites, such as oil and gas refineries or petrochemical facilities. It differs from a fallout shelter in that its main purpose is to protect from shock waves and overpressure instead of from radioactive precipitation.
