Licensed storage of emergency devices,black powder and propellant powder
– self-audit guideApril 2017
IntroductionUnder dangerous goods legislation, ensuring the safety and security of persons from stored explosives is the primary responsibility of the explosive storage licence holder. This self-audit guide is designed to assist licence holders with their legislative responsibilities.
Scope of auditThe audit guide is intended for indoor storage [especially portable indoor magazine(s)] of licensable quantities of Schedule 6 explosives:
• Ammunition propellant and black powder (including storage with ammunition)
• Emergency devices (e.g. flares)
• Model rocket motors
• Smoke generators
Why is self-auditing important?Self-auditing is a “health check” for your storage facility and should enable you to identify safety and security gaps and take effective corrective actions. Completing this audit will assist in demonstrating compliance with the legislative requirements.
Using this self-audit toolThis tool refers to the explosive storage requirements under the applicable dangerous goods legislation or prescribed Australian Standard AS 2187.1 Explosives – Storage, transport and use – Storage. These requirements have been referenced and grouped into key areas for ease of use.
• Placarding and signage
• Magazine and storage of explosives
• Safe storage – separation and segregation
• Management and operations
• Audits and documentation
• Incidents, investigations and emergency planning
Guidance in the form of questions and supporting information has been provided to assist the licence holder in achieving best practice. An audit summary template is also available to assist in the recording of an audit.
Though every effort has been made, this self-audit guide is not exhaustive and explosive storage licence holders should conduct a specific review of dangerous goods legislation and other state and national legislation (as applicable) to ensure compliance. Where deficiencies are identified by a licence holder, it is recommended that they are rectified as soon as is practicable.
