What does P26 require?

Where explosives are used the employer ensures compliance with Part 26 and with the Criminal Code duties on possession, appoints a competent person to be in charge of and present at all blasting, breaks firing circuits at a safe distance, keeps no more dynamite or high explosive outside the magazine than immediate use requires, and keeps unauthorised persons away. Vehicles carrying explosives meet the construction, metal covering, pre-loading servicing, extinguisher, red flag and Explosives signage, braking, railway crossing stop, refuelling and never-unattended rules of sections 26.5 to 26.16, and workers loading, unloading or conveying explosives take every precaution against fire or explosion. Approved receptacles hold at most 4.5 kg of blasting cartridges or 200 detonators, kept separate and apart, in locations acceptable to the officer and built and locked as prescribed; a separate store may hold up to 22.7 kg of blasting explosives or 22,000 detonators, sited away from dwellings and public places, fire resistant, locked, ventilated, lined against grit and iron, clean, dry, marked Explosives, with no fire, lights, matches, iron, steel or grit inside or within 7.5 metres of handling, and only non-sparking tools; larger quantities are stored under the Explosives Act (Canada). Explosives and detonators are kept apart until the last practicable moment, containers handled carefully and opened only in the storage area, no smoking while handling, and fuses capped or cartridges primed away from storage, with the further use rules in the rest of the Part.
