EXPLOSIVES ACT 1875 - SECT 24

Explanation as to quantities of gunpowder allowed in buildings.

24. Where any provision of this Act limits the quantity of gunpowder or
ingredients of gunpowder to be allowed in any building at any one time, all
gunpowder and ingredients within the radius of twenty yards from the building
and in course either of removal from the building, or of removal to the
building for the supply and work thereof, shall be deemed to be in the
building:

Provided that, if while the gunpowder or ingredients so in course of removal
are within the radius, every machine and manufacturing process in the building
is wholly stopped, there may, in addition to the quantity so allowed as
aforesaid to be in the building, be within the radius a further quantity of
gunpowder and ingredients so in course of removal as aforesaid, not exceeding
the quantity specified in that behalf in the license, or in the case of an
existing building in a lawfully existing factory for gunpowder ten
hundredweight, or any less quantity so allowed as aforesaid to be in the
building.

Where any provision of this Act limits the quantity of gunpowder or
ingredients of gunpowder to be allowed in any machine at any one time, but
does not limit the quantity to be in the building containing such machine, the
foregoing provisions of this section shall apply, so far as circumstances
admit, as if such machine were a building.

Where the quantity allowed to be in any building is limited to what is
required for the immediate supply and work of such building, or by words not
specifying the exact quantity, a Government inspector who considers that the
quantity in any such building is in excess, may, after hearing the explanation
of the occupier, require the occupier to diminish such quantity to the maximum
named in the requisition.

The occupier, if he feel aggrieved by such requisition, may require the matter
to be referred to arbitration in manner provided by this Act.

The exact quantity to be allowed in such building shall be determined by the
requisition, or if the matter is referred to arbitration, by the award.
