EXPLOSIVES ACT 1875 - SECT 64

Reconstruction of buildings destroyed by accident.

64. Where an accident by explosion or fire has occurred in, and wholly or
partly destroyed a factory magazine, or any magazine or store, the
factory magazine, magazine, or store shall not be reconstructed, and any
further supply of an explosive shall not be put therein, except with the
permission of the Secretary of State; and any explosive put therein in
contravention of this section shall be deemed to be kept in an unauthorised
place, and the offence may be punished accordingly:

Provided, that this enactment shall not prevent the reconstruction of a
factory magazine in any lawfully existing factory upon such site in the
factory, and with such precautions as may seem reasonable to the Secretary of
State, due regard being had to the working of the factory as well as to the
safety of the public and of the persons employed therein.

Where an accident by explosion or fire in a factory has wholly or partly
destroyed any building of such factory as to which a Government inspector has
previously to the accident sent to the occupier a notice that the building is
unduly near to some building or work outside the factory, such building shall
be reconstructed only upon such site in the factory and with such precautions
as may seem reasonable to the Secretary of State, due regard being had to the
working of the factory as well as to the safety of the public and of the
persons employed therein.

Where an accident by explosion or by fire in a factory has wholly or partly
destroyed two or more buildings in such factory, not more than one of such
buildings shall be reconstructed except with the permission of the Secretary
of State: Provided that this enactment shall not apply to any buildings in a
lawfully existing factory, if either both or all such buildings are
incorporating mills, or if as regards any other buildings a Government
inspector has not previously to the accident sent to the occupier a notice
that such buildings are unduly near to each other.

Where a building is constructed on a different site in pursuance of this
section, the Secretary of State shall cause the necessary alterations to be
made in the license; and such alterations shall be deemed to be part of
the license.

The reconstruction of any building in contravention of this section shall be
deemed to be a breach of the terms of the license, and shall be punished
accordingly.
