323. Equipment to be cleaned at end of day and precautions before repairs

The holder of a licence under this Part must ensure-

   (a)  that all mixers, receptacles, other equipment and tools used in making
        the explosive mixture are left free of the explosive mixture as far as
        is practicable to the extent that any residual trace of the mixture
        cannot initiate or contribute to an explosion and there is no risk to
        any subsequent user of the equipment; and

   (b)  that if any repair or alteration, intended to be made to a building,
        structure, vehicle, receptacle or equipment that contains or has
        contained an explosive mixture or any component used in the making of
        the mixture, will require the use of welding, cutting or grinding
        equipment or other potential source of heat, flame or sparks, the
        mixture or component is removed to a safe place and all residual
        traces are thoroughly cleaned away before the repair or alteration
        begins.
