This Approved Code of Practice gives practical guidance on regulations 10 and 13 of the Carriage of Explosives by Road Regulations 1996. These Regulations require operators to ensure that any vehicle or container used for the carriage of explosives is suitable for the safe and secure transportation of those explosives, and that full account is taken of the type and quantity of the explosives. Requirements relate to: safe working limits; provision of a screen or gap to prevent fire spread; protection from the fuel or electrical system; lining of the load-carrying compartment; prevention of unauthorized access. |
