Explosives Regulation 2017

A shotfirer licence authorises the holder of the licence to—

use the blasting explosives stated in the licence; and

possess the blasting explosives for the purpose of using them under the licence; and

purchase the blasting explosives for the purpose of using them under the licence; and

store the blasting explosives, as required under part 8, for the purpose of using them under the licence; and

transport the blasting explosives, as required under part 9, for the purpose of using them under the licence.

However, a shotfirer licence authorises the holder of the licence to do a thing mentioned in subsection (1)(a), (c) or (e) only if the holder has a current competency assessment in relation to the doing of the thing.

In this section—

current competency assessment, in relation to the doing of a thing mentioned in subsection (1)(a), (c) or (e) by the holder of a shotfirer licence, means an assessment by a registered training organisation—

that the holder has attained the specific competencies, approved by the chief inspector and published on a Queensland Government website, in the use of blasting explosives contained in an industry training package; and

that was performed within 5 years before the day the thing is done.
