	(i)	the keeping of explosives in a manner sanctioned by these regulations; and
	(ii)	the keeping of receptacles for tools and implements for work connected with keeping of explosives.
	(c)	The interior of every danger building, and the benches, shelves, and fittings in a danger building shall be so constructed, or so lined or covered, as to prevent—
	(i)	the exposure of any iron or steel; and
	(ii)	the detaching of any grit, iron, steel or similar substance which may come into contact with the explosive in a danger building; and the interior, benches, shelves, and fittings in every danger building shall, so far as is reasonably practicable be kept clean and free from grit.
	(d)	Every magazine shall have attached thereto a sufficient lightning conductor, unless by reason of the situation of such magazine or for any other reason the Chief Inspector considers a conductor unnecessary.
	(e)	Charcoal, whether ground or otherwise, and oiled cotton, oiled rags, and oiled waste, and any article whatever liable to spontaneous ignition, shall not be taken into a magazine, except for the purpose of immediate supply for work or immediate use in a magazine, and upon the cessation of such work or use shall be removed forthwith.
	(f)	Before repairs are done to any danger building, it shall, so far as practicable, be cleaned by the removal of all explosives, and by a thorough washing out. After that cleaning that danger building shall not be deemed a danger building within the meaning of these rules until explosive is again taken into it.
	(g)	All tools and implements used in or in any repairs to or in a danger building, or used in the opening, securing, or removal of any packages containing explosives, whether in a danger building or not, shall be made only of copper, bronze, brass, gunmetal, or wood, or other material approved by the Chief Inspector.

	(j)	No person shall smoke in any part of a magazine, or in any annexe thereto.
	(k)	Any vehicle, boat or other receptacle in which explosives are conveyed in, to or from a magazine or any part thereof shall, unless specially exempted by the Chief Inspector, be constructed without any exposed iron or steel in the interior thereof, and shall contain only the explosive, and shall be closed or otherwise properly covered over; and the explosive shall be unloaded, loaded and conveyed with all due diligence, and with such precautions and in such manner as will sufficiently guard against any accidental ignition or explosion.
	(l)	While any explosive is being received into or delivered out of a magazine, or while the hatches or doors of any danger building or the hatches or coverings of any vehicle, ship or boat which contains any such explosive are open, no fire or unprotected light shall be allowed within seven metres of that magazine; and when any vehicle, ship or boat having on board a fire, other than engine fires properly banked-up, or unprotected lights, is alongside a magazine containing any explosive, or in its vicinity no receipt or delivery of explosive shall be carried on, and the hatches or doors of any danger building shall not be open.

	(b)	It shall be the duty of an officer-in-charge to be present when a magazine is opened; to superintend the receipt, issue and stowage of explosives, and all operations connected with the examination and overhaul of explosives; to keep a daily journal of all such transactions, and a ledger showing particulars of all explosives stored in the magazine, and the receipt and issue thereof; to see that all buildings, vessels, tools, plant under his care are kept in proper order; to remain at the magazine during working hours, and on no account to absent himself except when on duty and with the permission of the Chief Inspector; to see that all doors, windows, ports, shutters, hatches of the magazine or boats are well secured on leaving off work, and to receive into his charge all keys to locks on any opening; to exercise a diligent and careful supervision of the duties and conduct of all persons under him; to see that the provisions of the Act, and any regulations thereunder in so far as they apply, are strictly enforced; and to report generally to the Chief Inspector on all matters relating to his office and the conduct of those persons under him.
	(c)	A person shall not be admitted within 20 metres of a Government magazine, except with the authority of the Chief Inspector, and when so admitted shall be attended by an Inspector of Explosives, Magazine Keeper or Assistant Magazine Keeper, who shall be responsible to ensure that all necessary precautions are adopted.

Magazines must not be aired or kept open longer than absolutely necessary in very wet or damp weather.

	(t)	All explosives kept in a Government magazine shall be packed in the manner directed by these regulations for the packing of explosives.

	(aa)	No delivery of explosives from a Government magazine shall be made without a written order from the officer-in-charge or his deputy, duly signed by either of them, and such delivery shall be made only in the presence of the officer-in-charge or his deputy.

Schedule S—Licence for keeping explosives in magazine
(Regulation 11.04(2))

Schedule T—Tables of safety distance for magazines
(Regulations 11.01, 11.05, 11.06(a))
In this Schedule, the term Inside Safety Distance means the distance to be observed between a magazine and other magazines or buildings in the same occupancy not being protected works, and the term Outside Safety Distance means the distance to be observed between a magazine and a protected work.
The Safety Distance required for buildings containing explosives to achieve the necessary degree of safety depends upon the following three factors:
	(a)	The type of risk appropriate to the explosive; and
	(b)	The weight of explosive in the building; and
	(c)	Whether effective mounds or screens are provided.
In regard to (a) all authorised explosives are given a category by the Director which is dependent on their potential risks. The categories are—
Category X—Explosives having fire or slight explosion risk or both with only local effect.
Category Y—Explosives having mass fire risk, or moderate explosion risk, but not mass explosion risk.
Category Z—Explosives having a mass explosion risk with serious missile effect.
Category ZZ—Explosives having a mass explosion risk with minor missile effect.
In regard to (c), a protected work may be considered mounded if a mound or screen exists such that straight lines drawn from all points of the protected work to all points of the magazine will pass through the mound or screen. A natural hill may serve as a mound or screen.

Schedule U—Box for carriage of explosives
(Regulations 7.13(3), 7.13(4)(b), 7.13(5), 7.13(6)(b))
A box for the carriage of explosives in a vehicle or a boat shall be—
	1	Strongly constructed of tongue and groove timber at least 20 mm thick or of wooden sheets at least 12 mm thick (see sketches below);
	2	Sheathed outside with flat galvanised iron;
	3	Fitted with one or more locks;
	4	Marked with the word "EXPLOSIVES" painted conspicuously in red on a white background;
	5	Secured firmly in the vehicle when being used for the carriage of explosives;
	6	Fitted with lugs or rings if ropes are to be used to secure it in the vehicle;
	7	Used only for the carriage of explosives.

Instead of using hinges, the door may be held in place by two metal pegs attached to the bottom of the door and fitting into corresponding holes in metal plates fastened to the base of the box as shown above.
Notes—
1	The actual size of the box will depend on the number and size of cases to be conveyed.
2	The box is to be completely covered on the outside with plain galvanised iron or approved non‑ferrous metal. Hinges, catches and other fittings to be of approved non‑ferrous metal.
3	The interior is to be free from exposed iron or steel. All nails, screws and other fastenings used inside are to be countersunk and puttied over.
4	Door may be a lid instead of on side, if desired.
5	Close stowage to avoid undue movement of cases within the box is essential. If necessary, suitable wooden wedges or other approved means should be used for this purpose.
