A person must, in carrying on an activity involving an explosive, take reasonable precautions and care in order to keep the explosive secure.
In determining what measures are required to be taken for the purposes of subsection (1), regard is to be had to, amongst other things—
the nature of the explosive and the activity; and
the locality at which the activity is being carried on; and
whether the explosive is kept secure from any person who is not authorised to access the explosive; and
the extent to which the measures are reasonably practicable in the circumstances taking into account measures taken by persons carrying on similar activities; and
other prescribed factors.
