EXPLOSIVES REGULATIONS — SECURITY PROVISIONS

The second volume of the set continuing to provide guidance on the Explosives Regulations. while the first book of the set was dealing with the safety provisions, this one is solely devoted to the security provisions. The book starts with some introduction followed by the chapters providing general security requirements and general security principles to be taken into consideration when performing any explosives operations.

The next two chapters are dealing with the management arrangements and regulatory framework while the following chapter is telling readers how important it is to prevent any unauthorized acquisition or access to the explosive materials. The prohibitions associated with the transportation of the explosives are also addressed together with the restrictions imposed on prohibited persons.

The rest of the document is covering such important aspects as proper identification of the explosives using the UIC, i.e. unique identification code, marking requirements, site codes and record keeping, reporting any losses, plastic explosive materials, pyrotechnics items etc. A short but comprehensive glossary of terminology concludes each book of this set providing explanation of the terms used throughout the document. A good publication recommended to anyone dealing with the explosive materials.
