DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES (EXPLOSIVES) REGULATIONS 2004 (NO 10 OF 2004) - REG 80

    (1)     The separation distances required by AS 2187.1 must be maintained between any of the following on the premises where explosives are likely to be present and each ammonium nitrate store:

        (a)     magazines;

        (b)     central mixing points;

        (c)     process buildings.

Note     In applying AS 2187.1:

              •     reg 16 must be used to work out the collective hazard division of explosives that are stored together instead of the approach set out in the standard itself

              •     a reference to NEQ of an explosive is taken to be a reference to the gross quantity of the explosive (including packaging)—see reg 21.

    (2)     For working out the separation distances required by the standard between a central mixing point and an ammonium nitrate store, a reference to the quantity of the explosives is taken to be a reference to the greater of the following:

        (a)     the maximum quantity of explosives that can be present at the central mixing point;

        (b)     half the quantity of ammonium nitrate that can be present at the central mixing point.
