Meaning of explosives location and large explosives location
25 Meaning of explosives location and large explosives location
A place is an explosives location if explosives are, or are likely to be, handled at the place in a greater than prescribed quantity.
However, a major hazard facility is not an explosives location.
An explosives location is a large explosives location if explosives are, or are likely to be, handled at the location in a greater than prescribed quantity.
To avoid doubt, if and when an explosives location becomes a large explosives location – it does not cease thereby to be an explosives location; and no provision of this Act applying to an explosives location ceases thereby to apply to it; and the provisions of this Act that apply to it as a large explosives location are additional to those that apply to it as an explosives location.
In this section – major hazard facility has the same meaning as in the regulations made under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012.
