EXPLOSIVES REGULATION 2005 - REG 78

78 Storage or transport of explosives of more than one hazard division together

(1) A person who stores or transports an explosive of one hazard division with an explosive of another hazard division must determine the precedence of hazard division of the explosives in accordance with subclauses (2), (3) and (4).

Maximum penalty: 250 penalty units.

(2) The precedence of hazard division of explosives of two different hazard divisions is the hazard division determined by taking the hazard division of one explosive in the vertical hazard division column of the Table to this subclause, and the hazard division of the other explosive in the horizontal hazard division column of the Table, and reaching the place in the Table that the two columns intersect.
