and to the satisfaction of an Inspector, and shall pay any
fee required under Part II of these regulations before the
license is actually issued.

8. Neither the magazine nor any part thereof shall be used
   for any purpose not in accordance with the license.

9. The conditions of the license shall be duly observed, and
   the keeping, or any work connected with the keeping, of ex-
   plosives shall not be carried on except in accordance with
   those conditions. If any breach of such conditions occur,
   the license will be liable to be immediately cancelled; and a
   breach of any of the conditions of the license shall be deemed
   also to be a breach of these regulations.

10. The magazine and every part thereof shall be main-
    tained in accordance with the license; and in the case of a
    magazine on land no material alteration in the magazine,
    either by enlarging or adding to the site, or by externally
    enlarging or adding to any building, or by altering any mound
    otherwise than by enlargement, or by making any new work,
    shall be made except with the approval in writing of an In-
    spector. No alterations or additions on any hulk or other
    floating vessel shall be allowed except with the approval
    in writing of an Inspector.

11. Every building in which explosives are kept, or are
    intended to be kept, shall be deemed a danger building, and
    shall be used only for the keeping of explosives, and the
    tools or implements for work connected with the keeping of
    such explosives. The interior of every danger building, and
    the benches, shelves, and fittings therein, shall be so con-
    structed, or so lined or covered, as to prevent the exposure of
    any iron or steel, or the detaching of any grit, iron, steel, or
    similar substance in such manner that such iron, steel, or
    grit, or similar substance may come into contact with ex-
    plosives or any ingredients thereof in such danger building;
    and the interior of every such danger building, and the
    benches, shelves, and fittings therein, shall, so far as is rea-
    sonably practicable, be kept free from grit and otherwise
    clean.

12. Every danger building shall be protected by sufficient
    lightning-conductors, and the nature of such building shall
    be indicated by a signboard conspicuously displayed, on
    which are legibly painted the words “Danger Building—
    Explosives.” The signboard shall be not less in size than
    1 ft. 6 in. long by 1 ft. broad.

13. No charcoal, whether ground or otherwise, or oiled
    cotton, or oiled rags, or oiled waste, or any article liable to
    spontaneous ignition, shall be taken into any danger building.

14. There shall be constantly kept affixed to every danger
    building, either outside or inside, in such manner as to be
    easily read, a statement of the quantities of explosives or
    ingredients allowed to be in the building, and a copy of these
    regulations to be affixed thereto, and of such part of the
    license for the magazine as appears to specially apply to
    such danger building.

15. Before repairs or alterations are done to or in any
    room, or in other part of a danger building, that room or
    part shall, so far as practicable, be cleaned by the removal
    therefrom of all explosives and of any wholly or partly
    mixed ingredients thereof, and by the thorough washing-out
    of such room or part; and such room or part of the build-
    ing, after being so cleaned, shall not be deemed to be a
    danger building within the meaning of these regulations
    until explosives, or any wholly or partly mixed ingredients
    thereof, are again taken into it. Except after such clean-
    ing, all tools and implements used in any repairs to or in
    any danger building shall be made only of wood, or copper,
    or brass, or some soft metal or material, or shall be covered
    with some safe and suitable material.

16. Due provision shall be made, by the use of suitable
    working-clothes without pockets, suitable shoes, searching,
    and otherwise, or by some of such means, for preventing the
    introduction into any danger building of fire, lucifer matches,
    or any substance or article likely to cause explosion or fire,
    and for preventing the introduction of any iron, steel, or
    grit into any part of the magazine where it would be likely
    to come into contact with explosives, or any wholly or partly
    mixed ingredients thereof; but this rule shall not prevent
    the introduction of an artificial light of such construction,
    position, or character as not to cause any danger of fire or
    explosion. Due precaution must be taken to exclude water
    from every danger building.

17. No person shall smoke in any part of the magazine.

18. Every carriage, boat, or other receptacle in which ex-
    plosives, or any wholly or partly mixed ingredients thereof,
    are conveyed from one building to another in a magazine,
    or from any such building to any place outside of such maga-
    zine, shall be constructed without any exposed iron or steel
    in the interior thereof, and shall contain only the explosives
    and ingredients, and shall be closed or otherwise properly
    covered over; and the explosives and ingredients shall be so
    conveyed with all due diligence, and with such precautions
    and in such manner as will sufficiently guard against any
    accidental ignition or explosion.

19. No person under the age of sixteen years shall be em-
    ployed in or enter any danger building except in the presence
    of and under the supervision of some person of full age.

20. Nothing in these regulations shall prevent coal or
    other fuel being taken on board any hulk or other floating
    vessel used as a magazine, provided the maximum quan-
    tity to be kept on board at any one time is specified in the
    license, and stored in some safe place with free and sufficient
    ventilation, and with all due precautions against ignition,
    whether spontaneous or otherwise, and provided the place
    where such fuel is to be consumed shall be approved by
    an Inspector.

21. There shall not be kept in any magazine licensed for
    the storage of explosives any—
    (a.) Explosive of the Fifth (Fulminate) Class;
    (b.) Explosive which is not for the time being either
    authorised to be manufactured for general sale or
    authorised to be imported.

22. If two or more explosives are kept in the same maga-
    zine, they shall be separated from each other by such inter-
    vening partition of such substance and character, or by such
    intervening space, as will effectively prevent explosion or
    fire in the one communicating with the other, subject, never-
    theless, to the following qualifications:—
    (a.) The various explosives of Class I, Class II, Class III,
    safety fuse belonging to the First Division of
    Class VI (Ammunition), and such of the various
    explosives of the Second Division of Class VI
    (Ammunition) as do not contain any exposed iron
    or steel, may be kept with each other without any
    intervening partition or space.
    (b.) The various explosives of the First Division of
    Class VI (Ammunition) may be kept with each
    other without any intervening partition or space.
    (c.) Such of the various explosives of the Second Division
    of Class VI (Ammunition) as contain any exposed
    iron or steel may be kept with each other without
    any intervening partition or space.
    (d.) The various explosives of the Third Division of
    Class VI (Ammunition) may be kept with each
    other without any intervening partition or space.
    (e.) The various explosives of Class VII (Fireworks) may
    be kept with each other without any intervening
    partition or space.

23. The licensee of every magazine, and every person
    employed in and about the same, shall take all due pre-
    caution for the prevention of accidents by fire or explo-
    sion in the same, and for preventing unauthorised persons
    having access to the magazine or to the explosives therein,
    and shall abstain from any act whatever which tends to
    cause fire or explosion, and is not reasonably necessary for
    the purpose of the work in such magazine.

24. Every licensee of a magazine shall, with the sanction
    of the Minister, make special rules for the regulation of the
    persons managing or employed in or about such magazine,
    with a view to secure the observance of these regulations
    therein, and the safety and proper discipline of the said
    persons, and the safety of the public.

25. The licensee may, and if required by the Minister shall,
    with the sanction of the Minister, repeal, alter, or add to any
    special rules made in pursuance of the preceding clause.

26. No explosive shall be received into any magazine
    unless the outermost package or covering be branded, labelled,
    or marked with the name of the explosive contained therein,
    and the name and address of the manufacturer thereof.

27. While any explosive, other than explosive of the First
    Division of the Sixth (Ammunition) Class, is being received or
    delivered, or while the hatches or door of any danger build-
    ing, or the hatches or coverings of any vessel, barge, or craft
    which contains any such explosive are open, no fire, unpro-
    tected lights, or smoking shall be allowed; and when any
    vessel, barge, or craft having on board a fire, other than
    engine-fire properly banked up, or unprotected lights, is
    alongside a magazine containing any explosive other than
    explosive of the First Division of the Sixth (Ammunition)
    Class, or in its immediate vicinity, no receipt or delivery of
    explosive shall be carried on, and the hatches or door of any
    danger building shall not be open.

28. A danger building shall be deemed to be every building
    or place in which any explosive is kept or present; and every
    building in which explosive or any ingredient thereof which
    either by itself is possessed of explosive properties, or which
    when mixed with any other ingredient or article also present
    in such building is capable of forming an explosive mixture
    or an explosive compound, is kept, or present, or in the
    course of manufacture is liable to be, shall, unless specially
    exempted by the license or by an order of an Inspector, be
    deemed to be a danger building.

29. “Magazine” shall include any building, chamber, hulk,
    or floating vessel, or place set apart exclusively for the storage
    of explosives.
