RULES FOR HANDLING EXPLOSIVES IN PORTS.
(1.) Explosives to be handled only in Danger Area.
No explosive other than the 1st Division of the 6th (Ammunition) Class and the 3rd Division
of the 7th (Firework) Class, or an explosive specially exempted from the operation of this clause,
shall be shipped, transhipped, or discharged from any ship or boat at any place except the place
set apart for the purpose by the local authority controlling the port.
(2.) Officer of Vessel to be in Charge of Work.
An officer of the vessel shall be constantly and exclusively in charge of the shipment, stowage,
transhipment, or discharge of such explosives, and he shall assist the Inspector of Explosives or
other superintending official in enforcing the observance and fulfilment of these conditions and
restrictions.
(3.) Lights and Fires to be extinguished, and Smoking prohibited.
Before the hatches of a ship, boat, or lighter, or the doors of a ship’s magazine are opened
for loading or unloading any explosives, and during the operations, all fires and lights must
be extinguished (except engine-room fires, which must be carefully banked), and no smoking shall
be allowed on board. This section shall apply to every vessel alongside of or attached to any
ship or boat loading or discharging any explosive: Provided that this regulation shall not
prevent the employment of any artificial light constructed and disposed in such manner as shall
not tend to cause fire or explosion.
(4.) Men must have no Matches, Iron, or Steel, &c., on their Person.
Men selected to work in the magazine of the ship or boat must not have any matches, fusees,
knives, iron, or steel about their persons, nor wear boots with any iron, steel, or grit upon them.
(5.) Iron and Steel to be covered over.
All exposed iron or steel in or near the place where any explosive is being handled must be
covered over with tarpaulins, wadmill-tilts, or other suitable material.
(6.) Handling of Packages.
No package containing explosives shall be pitched, rolled, thrown, or slid, but shall be passed
from hand to hand. Packages may, however, be slung in nets of a pattern approved by an
Inspector of Explosives.
