Safety Requirements for Explosives Storage Adapted from Information by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Explosives are essential for enhancing and preserving our quality of life in the United States. The explosives sector encompasses diverse industries, each contributing uniquely to society. Many of the components necessary for manufacturing cell phones, computers, vehicles, and machinery used in road construction, lumber processing, and factory operations are sourced from mining as well as quarrying activities that utilize explosives. The ATF collaborates closely with these different sectors to gain insights into their products and processes, ensuring regulatory measures effectively address safety and security concerns to safeguard the public. Explosives substances need to be stored in a designated magazine, as outlined below, according to their specific class. Type 1 Magazine - Designed for the permanent storage of high explosives, type 1 magazines can also accomodate other classes of explosive materials. Type 2 Magazine - These are mobile and portable magazines suitable for both indoor and outdoor storage of high explosives. Type 2 magazines also allow for the storage of other classes of explosive materials. Type 3 Magazine - They are portable outdoor facilities intended for the temporary storage of high explosives while they are supervised. They can also store other classes of explosive materials, but it is crucial that explosive materials are not left unattended in a type 3 magazine. Once supervision is no longer available, they must be relocated to a suitable magazine for secure storage. Type 4 Magazine - These magazines are specifically designed for storing low explosives. Additionally, they can house detonators that do not pose a mass detonation risk, as well as blasting agents. The following stipulations pertain exclusively to the storage of explosive materials in magazines classified as type 1, 2, 3, and 4. j Explosive materials must not be positioned directly against the internal walls of the magazine. j Containers holding explosive materials must be arranged in a manner which keeps their identification markings visible. j Metal containers with explosive materials must not be unpacked or repacked within a magazine or within a 50-foot radius of it, nor should they be unpacked or repacked in proximity to other explosive materials. j All containers of explosive materials must remain sealed during storage. j Tools utilized for opening or closing containers of explosive materials must be constructed from nonsparking materials. Metal slitters are acceptable for opening fiberboard containers. j With the exception of nonsparking transfer conveyors, no metal tools may be stored in any magazine containing high explosives. Anyone storing explosive materials is required to inform the local fire safety authority overseeing the area where materials are kept. This notification must detail the type of explosive materials, capacity of the magazine, and specific location of each storage site. The initial notification should be made verbally by the end of the day on which the storage begins, followed by a written notification within 48 hours of the start of storage. Type 2 magazine. EXB
