### sec.205 Transporting and storing explosives underground The underground mine manager must ensure explosives are not transported, or stored, underground unless the explosives are enclosed in a container complying with this section. The container must be— conspicuously labelled with the word ‘EXPLOSIVES’ printed in red on a white background; and designed and constructed— to minimise damage from impact; and to prevent the following— friction sparks; the build-up and retention of static electricity; the explosives spilling; and for containers for detonators or detonator sensitive explosives—lined with timber or other shock absorbing material; and locked; and used only for transporting or storing explosives underground. The container must not contain more than 1 type of explosive. However, subsection (3) does not apply to a container— in which prepared primers are transported during the construction of a shaft or drift driven from the surface; and used by a person who is competent in handling explosives for carrying the explosives to the place where the explosives will be charged and fired. (sec.205-ssec.1) The underground mine manager must ensure explosives are not transported, or stored, underground unless the explosives are enclosed in a container complying with this section. (sec.205-ssec.2) The container must be— conspicuously labelled with the word ‘EXPLOSIVES’ printed in red on a white background; and designed and constructed— to minimise damage from impact; and to prevent the following— friction sparks; the build-up and retention of static electricity; the explosives spilling; and for containers for detonators or detonator sensitive explosives—lined with timber or other shock absorbing material; and locked; and used only for transporting or storing explosives underground. (sec.205-ssec.3) The container must not contain more than 1 type of explosive.
