This British Standard gives recommendations for the safe storage, handling, transport and use of blasting explosives and accessories in construction and demolition operations.<\/p>\n

Section 1 covers general recommendations for handling and safety.<\/p>\n

Section 2 is concerned with safety in the use of explosives in special applications and situations such as tunnelling, demolition, excavation and underwater working.<\/p>\n

This British Standard is not applicable to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    blasting on offshore oil and\/or gas platforms or structures, or any associated works;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    underground works carried out for the purpose of exploiting mineral reserves and extensions to voids left following ore extraction, which are governed by mining legislation; or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    operations involving the use of cartridge-operated fixing tools, which are specified by BS EN 15895 and whose use is covered by BS 4078\u20111.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
