1.(1) Where the Minister of Home Affairs for Northern Ireland (in this Act
referred to as "the Minister") is satisfied that owing to the existence of any
special circumstances special precautions require to be taken under section
twenty-three of the Explosives Act, 1875, as it applies in Northern Ireland
(in this Act referred to as "the principal Act"), for the prevention of
accidents by fire or explosion in any such factory, magazine, store, or
registered premises as is referred to in that section, or for preventing
unauthorised persons having access thereto, the Minister may by order
prescribe the special precautions to be taken, and any contravention of or
failure to comply with the terms of such order shall be deemed to be a breach
of that section.

(2) Without prejudice to any penalty imposed by the principal Act, it shall be
lawful for the Minister, where he is satisfied that the provisions of any such
order are not complied with, to cause steps to be taken to secure compliance
therewith, and to recover from the occupier the expense of taking any such
steps.
