| Abstract |
This book provides guidance on how to comply with the Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005, which cover the manufacture, storage and handling of all explosives, including blasting explosives, propellants, detonators and detonating cord, fireworks and other pyrotechnic articles, ammunition, and other explosive articles such as airbags and seat-belt pre-tensioners. The Regulations cover the manufacture of explosives and intermediate products for on-site mixing and storage, and also handling operations that are not in themselves considered to 'manufacture'. These include fusing fireworks, assembling firework displays from components, and filling shotgun cartridges and other cartridges for small arms. Contents: Introduction to the Regulations; Safety requirements; Licensing and registration requirements; Prohibitions concerning certain explosives and miscellaneous provisions. |
